Everyone is going to think I’m crazy, if they don’t already,
but I’m having a lot of fun writing about forts. Oh, yes, these coastal defenses are far more
than forts. But I am calling them forts
till I get to the Nike missiles. Why did
I pick forts? They are just architecture,
many just large purpose built brick structures that have evolved from defensive
use to innovative peaceful uses.
Tuesday swimming with G before dawn takes the pressure off
going to school these last few weeks.
Then it’s package myself and my lunch, and I am off to the last
classes. I’ll really miss them. I get concrete and careful editing here….folks
take time to read and make suggestions.
Then it’s home to write.
Yesterday I worked most of the afternoon gathering and pasting basic
info down that I can work from later.
Dinner….we were late.
Every traffic light was red and laughing at our attempt to pick up
Captain Poolie on time. The new North
Park Sipz was a huge hit. No parking, same
menu, far better décor, and a marvelous steampunk motorcycle as it’s centerpiece. The captain is just now staging steampunk as
the focus of her next show at the museum, and she was interested. We had some comfortable conversations and laughter fit for a king or queen. Delightful indeed.
Home to our New Summer Tuesday Movie Routine instead of a
double header NCIS. Something brought “Reds” to mind this week,
and I picked it. What fun. It’s a well done light movie with a terrific
cast. No matter how many times you see
this one, there’s always a new twist to capture your attention.
Today I am off to Books, books, books in hopes that the boss
and the head pricer will have returned leaving me to just deal with the
books. Then it’s home to forts and fun
with revetments until dinner. You can’t beat revetments before dinner.
By now you have made memories of the dinner out with the Capt. I'm sure you filled her with love and laughter and she did the same for you.
ReplyDeleteHope this comment goes through....I was having trouble yesterday getting anything to post anywhere....lol.
I had a marvelous time! You and G-Man rock my world! I hope the motorcycle comes through. It was definitely perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about traffic lights conspiring against us especially when we're already pressed for time. (Notice I didn't say late) :)
ReplyDeleteDinner with friends is such a treat!
PS I love forts, too!
I envy your love and dedication of a subject and wish I could find something that would stretch me just a little.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you are crazy at all. Younger people need to be reminded of WWII and the fear many felt concerning an invasion.
