Labor Day trip countdown

At some point Saturday afternoon, my wife, son and I will get in the car and head off to visit my in-laws for a few days. It's about 175 miles away, and they don't have internet. So I won't be able to sampe your blog entries until I get back. I know I'll have to do a lot of catching up once I return.

But next week won't be nearly as busy as the last two weeks have been. This last week (the one just ending) has just been chaos, what with the short deadline and lots of last-minute stuff to do. Except for my two pages, the rest of the paper was finished this afternoon.

I'm not quite finished with the story of the Thursday night football game I covered--I spent most of today writing girls basketball--and I still have to write up the story of the game I covered tonight (Friday). I was going to start that story tonight, but no; I decided to write this instead. After some sleep, I'll be in a better mood to write football, anyway.

By the way, I'm taking my laptop along on the trip. I anticipate ("hope" may be the better word) some quiet time when I will be able to edit photos and write a few stories ... for my benefit and your amusement. That's the master plan, anyway.

Of course, there is always the chance that most of my time over the weekend will be spent as chauffeur. But rain is forecast for both Sunday and Monday, so we'll see about that.

Anyway, it's after midnight, so I'd better get to sleep. Three nights on the road. Well, at my father-in-law's place. I'll get back Tuesday and hope to have something for you then.
