Travel Day/Pre-Travel Day

I head home today (as you read this) First Monday of November, (second Blog in a row for those counting at home, trying to make up for the hiatus of both brain and typing power/prowess…) and so I’m working this pre-trip, ‘cause I’m currently (day before you read this) where the internet is plentiful and inexpensive, which seems to continually beat the opposite. So in amongst the preparation for the last show tonight, (which includes the new material to put in if they’re goin’ with me, and the anchor material to jump to if they’re going against me…) and the ‘always somber’ packing. (You see it’s not just clothes, it’s all the projects I brought too, that only got a scouring, a once over that made me realize I have more to do on ALL of them, and it brought up more of other things to do that I didn’t bring along… I mean, instead of the “to do” list becoming the “ta-done” list, the first list has just been made longer…), I figured I’d blog in the middle of the morning , while the coffee is hot, before I forget to do it, and then I have to find both the rare and expensive internet… to keep up.

I know the best way to prepare for doing things, for getting things DONE, is to prioritize, however I’m one of those strange folks where the priorities shift depending on what dessert I had, what time zone I’m in, or what bill is due… I see priorities not as hard and fast, but more as mood oriented, a method by which I have only barely survived up to this point... I seem to still work best like I did in the past, when the term paper was due the next day, and if I could just get the same pressure applied on a general basis, I’d probably run in 4^th gear more, rather than the occasional 2^nd and often reverse… (I’d probably also be in line for the double blind test for the new ulcer medicine but at least I’d get more done…)

Ah well, the bags half packed (a certain priority) the backpack has the essential projects I don’t want to trust to the baggage handlers, and there’s more coffee somewhere… There’s this Sunday’s News-programs, and still football being played, and just maybe the audience tonight, will go along with me and I’ll feed them (and thus myself) some new bits…, and I got one more blog done… that’s a good check mark… and I'll take it...
