The 2nd week of work and the honeymoon is
over. It is very hot and muggy, not many people left to babble
about our trip and the same old work problems rear their ugly head. There
are the student workers who realize they like the paycheck but not the work
part. Professors who want us to come
across campus to plug in their computers, network ports turned off during the summer
and housekeeping that keep locking the lab during the day. Mostly this job is fun but there are problems
you have every start of the school year—I had forgotten.
We head to Knoxville and Boomsday and the Utah State opener
for the Vols. But mostly we are excited
to see Andy and Mary (and their girls) plus Elizabeth and Charley .
Rachel is 8 months pregnant and Abby is in LOVE so I can’t wait to meet
their men and reconnect with the Leeton clan in Knoxville. Vanderbilt had the late game last night against Temple and lost badly--I hope this is not an omen.
Our home for this fall is Rock Harbor Marina
on our houseboat –Next Chapter. It is
slowly becoming home (however temporary) to a few Loopers—Roy and Elvy Short
are still here- Roy is having shoulder replacement surgery at Vanderbilt and
will need to recover before they head for Florida for the winter. Tom and Patsy Conrad are here for the Fall
and there was a Bob Levine sighting
earlier in the week so he and Anne must be here somewhere. Yesterday
Liberty (a big Marlowe) was at the transient dock with owners Shorty and
Roe. We had met them at the Loopers Rendezvous
and I had to extract Fitz from the engine room of Shorty’s boat. They were at the Blue Moon when we went there
to dinner and we reconnected. Nice
people –I hope we see more of them.
