I’m trying to be optimistic. Jon tells me I have to be. But it’s not my best thing. I’m thinking positive thoughts. You think positive thoughts, too, that the rain that’s coming down here doesn’t turn to freezing rain. If it just rains, we’re cool, but ice . . . Well, the local news actually encouraged people to prepare for power outages. I think everyone’s confidence in our local power company, AmerenUE is pretty low after the last two outages we’ve had. But positive thoughts.
First, there’d been an Amber alert here earlier in the week, five days ago, I believe. They found the boy. He looks okay. I know looks can be deceiving, but he looked okay, and that is pretty good news. But on top of that, they found a second boy with him. This kid was snatched when he was eleven years old. We’ve seen posters of him forever, it seems. He’s now sixteen and he’s going home. How amazing is that? So that’s my positive thought for the night. Two teenage boys home. Two families reunited with their kids.
After news like that, if anyone cares, the rewrite of THE HARLEQUIN is nearly done. Positive thoughts that I get to put it in FedEx tomorrow.
