Veterans Day, November 11, 2009

For several days I've been attempting to write a poem about my Great Uncle Roy. Uncle Roy, my Grandfather's brother, fought in World War I. I don't remember Uncle Roy saying anything about his experience in that war.

Perhaps that's why I'm having so much trouble with the poem. The only thing I have is a picture of Uncle Roy in his uniform. I'll get that out and meditate on it, maybe something will come to me. I'm not sure how to go about finding information on World War I veterans; however, I need to find out because that might help me finish the poem.

Taking Surveys is fun again

I have DSL and the download time is not noticeable. I enjoy taking survey again because of the fast download time. When I listen to vocal or watch video, there is no interruption because the rest of the video is downloading.

I am living in
the fast lane with DSL
life is wonderful.

Voice Mail, working online, and writing

Last night, I found out I cannot get up from the computer and into the breakfast room to answer the phone before the voice mail picks up. The phone rings four time and then the answering service (voice mail) picks up the call. I can probably change the number of rings before the service takes the call, but I am not sure I want to do that.

My home phone is a walk around phone, so I can have it in the living room when I am working or watching T.V. I have to get a battery for the phone because it does not hold a charge for very long. I have to remember to put it back on its cradle after using it. I will probably get a battery for it next month.

Yesterday, I received two calls that the voice mail picked up. One of the calls was important; the other was just someone advertising something. I thought there was a do not call list and this phone number was on it, I am going to have to check that out.

Writing off line

I am going off line for a couple of days to connect a new modem. The job looks a bit more complicated then I originally thought. It may not be as complicated as it looks, I hope not. Anyway, I am going to attempt connecting it this weekend. If I have problems I have access to 24/7 tech support. I hope everyone has a good weekend.

Doctors’ examination rooms are cold

I have experienced the temperature in two different doctors' examination room over the past two days. On Tuesday, November 3, I went to my doctor because of a problem with my stomach. On Wednesday, November 4, I took my mother to an urgent care facility because her ankle hurt and swollen.

It was so cold in both examination rooms we need coats or blankets to keep warm while waiting to see the doctor. When I went to see my doctor on Tuesday morning, I took a ski jacket with me and it kept me warm. We went to the urgent care Wednesday afternoon. I did not take coat in because it was about 82 degrees in Las Vegas. Fortunately, the urgent care facility had blankets to keep their clients warm.

A writer has to remember little things like temperature, if the character is waiting in an examination room, whether it is at an urgent care facility or doctors offices mention the temperature. Find a unique comparison between the temperature in the examination room and a weather or climate phenomenon.

Looking out my living room window, I see the shadows of trees on my garage roof. The shadows are still, which means no wind is blowing this morning. If there is no wind then there is no wind chill factor.
