I took this photo a decade ago during a trip to the Winn Dixie supermarket close to my former home in South Florida.

Hi, Dear Reader.

I may not be writing here tomorrow or Monday. Iโ€™m heading back to my hometown of Miami on a trip Iโ€™d rather not take, but one thatโ€™s necessary: reclaiming the belongings I was forced to leave behind. Among them is my newer laptop, so Iโ€™ll be traveling with the old one. If time and energy allow, you might see a few entries in A Certain Point of View, Too during the journey.

I had hoped to spend this weekend working on the deluxe edition of The Jim Garraty Chronicles, but exhaustion and distraction have kept me from wrestling with those stubborn Kindle Create formatting gremlins. Depending on how Miami treats me, Iโ€™ll do my best to return to that project on Tuesday.

    1. We leave in 90 minutes.

      I doubt I’ll get all of my stuff back….at least. not easily. Thanks for the good wishes.

  3. Not sure why the trip is unpleasant for you, Alex. None of my business, I suppose, but I hope the trip is a success and that you have safe travels! Wishing you peace!
