As I was just saying before I was so rudely interrupted by a slip of the finger,  (see my previous post below for the gory details),  I am sitting here in the “East Tower” of Pilgrim Place,  a sub-section of Old Saint George,  here on the edge of the campus of the University of Cincinnati.

I got into town on Sunday night,  and stopped in at the Best Buy in Northern Ky. to catch the Titan’s score (they won 27-12), and to do my usual perusing of the Best Buy Sunday ad and gawk and drool over the HDTV screens (someday, maybe).   I called Larry from there to see if he was “into” any chatting that night,  or to wait until the next day when business and activity opens as usual on Monday am.

Yesterday I spent a good part of the afternoon up here pecking out some of the ideas in the form of web pages and their accompanying templates and stylesheets using my trial version of MX Studio 2004 (actually ,  the individual trial versions of DW, FW,  and Flash).  OSG is looking to buy the Studio here soon. 

It looks as though I am back on schedule to make the trip up here every three weeks.  Oct. 12-16 I’ll be back (with the family along as well,  since Brian and Kelli and Janet are all out of school— Janet is “Teacher Assisting” for a school in the same county,  who are out for “Fall Break” that week.   After that,  I’ll come back again Nov. 2- Nov 5  or so. 

I have some arrangements that will enable me to spend pretty much full time on this for x number of weeks (while waiting for other developments to take place on the job front,  which all seem to be headed toward finding momentum toward a more fully supportive (financially) job role (or combination of roles).  It’s back to being exciting more than uncertain — which makes it all a lot more doable and leaves me free enough from the “dread” of wondering if things are going to stay afloat.
