The Water Battle
I love the rain. I guess if you've been reading my jottings at all
you know that already. This afternoon, we had a very nice little
downpour and since Daniel and I have
been waiting for just such an event, we quickly prepared to go take a
walk in the rain. Rodney seemed to think
this was a weird idea, but he went along with us nevertheless.
By the time we were ready to go, the downpour had slacked off to a nice
rain shower. We walked halfway around the block (halfway because we
took the alley instead of going all the way to the next street) but by the
time we were heading back, the rain had stopped. It was a good time. We
seemed to get some attention from the neighbors. I couldn't tell if they
were disapproving or envious, though.
When the kick water fight started, we REALLY got some attention. By
this time, we were back in front of the house, all three of us laughing
hysterically. I noticed in the pictures we took of each other (tag team
photography) that more and more neighbors appeared on their porches in
the background.
I declared myself the winner and nobody disputed the title.

Got a call first thing this morning to schedule a second interview
with the insurance company I talked to yesterday. They didn't waste
any time getting back with me..
I also got a call from two other places wanting to do the first
interview thing. One of them is a department store. Their corporate
campus is just north of here and I swear I've been there, although I
sure can't remember why I would be. I can actually SEE the gates,
the gardens and even the security checkpoint inside. I even know
what the data center looks like, but I sure can't remember when I was
ever there. Must be old age.

There has been a lot of conversation on the diary list and the journal
list about writing voices. People are always talking about their
voice. I found my true voice, etc. I finally couldn't stand
it any longer so I posted, "What the heck is a voice, anyway?"
Corvin,
Lynda,
Sarah,
Shmuel,
Krystyn and
Michael all gave
quite comprehensive replies, but I'm still not sure I understand. It
has something to do with the personal tone a person gives their
writing that makes it unique to them. So, when I get my own voice,
folks will be able to tell what I write from what anyone else writes.
Something like that.
I think I'm going to just record an entry and find my voice that way
instead. It sounds easier.
