Eccentric Flower:199812/leave of absence

twenty-one twelve one

leave of absence

I've noticed that I have a problem with "one" where the datelines are involved. Sometimes I say "one" meaning one in the afternoon, which by my system is wrong; that should be "thirteen." "One" is one in the morning.

It's one in the morning. I never get it wrong the other way 'round.

Emerson: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."

In case you didn't pick up on this from the subtle hints in the previous postcard (and you're also not a mouth organ reader or one of my regular email chums): I am going to be incommunicado for a while. Until the twenty-ninth or thirtieth, depending on how exhausted I am when I get back. Long drive.

I'm doing something which was formerly Against My Religion and taking my camera with me ... so who knows? Maybe I'll have some bizarre photos to show 'n' tell when I come back.

I may check in while I'm out - I can probably find a computer with web access - but don't count on it. Christmas is a time to see the family, not sit typing in front of a computer.

Here's hoping the holidays find you stress-free.
