Some of the remains of Fort Russell near Marfa, TX - setting for one of my novels

Stop to pick up something on way home. Once home, I check e-mail and news sites with girls and the last of the Fritos. Sam Cropper by to fix plaster in Beth's bathroom. Shortly after he starts, he tells me we need a plumber. Sam leaves and I call Beth. She has plumber call me and I say call me when you can come over. Place my pre-planned call to Jimmy George at 9:00 Pacific time - 11:00 his time. We go over script and smooth it out as we go. Spend two hours on phone then plan to pick up where we left off at 9:00 tomorrow. Beth calls about Dan the plumber. I eat while watching something on Western Channel. Down for nap but leave my cell phone beside bed. 14-minutes it rings. It's Beth - Dan the plumber is on his way. Get up and dress just in time to let plumber into house. I work on Jimmy's and my changes while Dan works in Beth's bathroom wall. $175-dollars later the leak is fixed. Pay him and he leaves. I continue working on script until 4:00; then I sweep floors and clean up side yard. Beth home and we talk. I make dinner and we eat. Both to office and we go over the Lodge Trust we are having drawn up. Almost done and we decide to continue at a later date. She showers. Later ~
