"Author Services, Inc. cordially invites you to attend the 14th Annual L. Ron Hubbard Achievement Awards . . . party immediately follows"   Airline tickets received. Computer situated (files transfered, e-mail connection tested), supplies arranged, bags packed (almost). The flight leaves at 11:00 a.m. from Louisville, so I'll hop in the car here in another hour and a half to get down there. I'm excited. Or at least I'm getting there. Of course, it's not like I have that much to worry about. I mean, I'm just a measly finalist tagging along for the ride. It's not like I have to worry about winning anything, you know? And it's not like it's Clarion or anything. Still ... Gotta run and finish the morning. Will likely update when I get in this evening. 10:04 a.m. Plane pushes back from gate right on time. 11:14 a.m. I kid you not. Steak for lunch. 3:04 p.m. Flying over the Grand Canyon. Way cool. The trees line the upper ridge like a pine-colored billard cloth. 5:40 p.m. Made it.  Daily Persistence is © Ron Collins |
