Dispatches from Orlando

I flew into Orlando yesterday with CG and the Finny. It’s not vacation; it’s conventioneering for work. But we have a pretty nice place here for the next few days. The bigger news is that I have been smoke-free since last Friday. I didn’t like a blood pressure reading I got on one of those drugstore machines, and that was that. It finally motivated me to make another effort at quitting. One side effect of quitting, however, is greatly diminished concentration, and difficulty in writing even simple emails. Combine that with making travel preparations for a 11-month old, and you get low blogging production.

And, BTW, the blood pressure is already way down to much less worrisome levels. But, you know, try not to make me angry.
