I talked with a newspaper publisher today.

The job wasn't going to work out, all for reasons on my end.

But it was fun that someone was paying attention, nonetheless.

Even if I don't get to go to prom, it's sweet someone was thinking of me.

I'm happy I took the weekend off because it game me much time to work on some personal projects, a screenplay I've had in my head for a couple of years and a book of anti-nature poetry. My 19-year-old kid is coaching me on the screenplay, as that is one of her specialty areas.

As Laura Lane told me, standing in the middle of my hermitage, "When will you have this chance again?"

I sent out two notes to people for interviews about homeless issues, one expert local to Bloomington and a national expert.

Now I'm sitting down to blog.

It's been a good Monday.

Thanks for those who read over the weekend and please keep reading as we move throughout the week.

If you have specific questions about homelessness, please shoot me a note at richjackson1@gmail.com.

Love all of you.

And peace unto you.
