• Hey, friends,
  How has your Tuesday gone?
  Mine has been pretty interesting. This morning at the newspaper office, I wrote a story for today's paper about the library expanding into a next-door building. To get a photo to go with the story, I walked around the Square to the library, where I met the director and shot a photo of her outside the new building.
  Oh, and on the way over there, I shot a photo of one of the county's master gardeners on her hands and knees in a flower bed on the corner of the Courtpark. It will run in the paper one day soon when we need a feature photo.
  I proofed a couple of stories for today's edition, and wrote another story for tomorrow's paper about the sheriff's new program in which misdemeanor convicts are put on work crews to clean up trash around the county.
  I ate lunch at the downtown cafe' with an older lady from my church who introduced herself to me after church Sunday, and we got to know each other a little bit.
  This afternoon, I worked on my column for tomorrow for a while, then interviewed the local director of CASA (court-appointed special advocates for children) and the chairman of their board. I'll write a big story about how what they do, and how badly they need volunteers and donations, for a Sunday edition later this month.
  After work, D and I cooked supper together - chicken chalupas with fresh avacado and cilantro - yum!
  I also had a long visit with my Colorado son on the phone. I haven't seen him since last June, and am really getting homesick for him. He's a chef at the Mediterranean Cafe' in Boulder. D and I are hoping to get out there late this summer to see him.
  Now it's time to sit down and rest a little bit!
  What have y'all been doing today?
