As I was lying in bed last nite, in that weird not-quite-asleep state (I was waiting for my son to come home from his 4 hr Auxiliary Police shift) when the thought for a damn good blog post occurred to me. I really liked it. I know I did, because working it out in my head helped keep me awake.

I'm impressed too with your son & family's service! My cool night-time thoughts usually slip away by morning. Sometimes I think about keeping something nearby for recording them, but usually I just want to fall asleep.
ReplyDeleteThanks Padre! I grew up wanting to be a train engineer - my son has always wanted to be a cop. I'm fairly happy the way things turned out, but I'd still like to drive a train one day :)
ReplyDeleteBack when i was actively trying to write fiction (this is in the days micro-cassette recorders) i used to have a recorder next to my bed for such moments.
I figured I'd wait a few weeks before listening to all the entries, and when i did listen, the recorder ate the tape. Wasn't meant to be ;)
Oh man, that sucks. Hope the idea comes back to you. Hate when that happens.
