Stuff<\/h3>\n

I left Charleston at 5:00am and after catnapping briefly south of Orlando and running several errands in Lake Wales was in the house at 2:50pm. Jim kindly had lunch waiting for me. I spent the rest of the day answering e-mails and doing some writing. <\/p>\n

This blog post, the 131st in a row, took about 1 1\/2 hours to prepare. It should be published automatically at 3:00am on Monday morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
