I'm Back

Crossing my fingers, I do believe my computer problems are over, with some house cleaning and a replacement tower doing the trick. Meanwhile:

1) It appears I am hitting the campaign trail in the Carolinas for the DSCC as a GOTV volunteer, much like my stint in New Jersey in 2002, for the week before the election. I'll let you know more as I do.

2) No word yet from the lit agent whether they liked the manuscript or not. But an early reply would likely be a rejection, so maybe my odds are improving.

3) My employer and the union that represents me has reached a tentative agreement on a 5-year contract. All told, I could be receiving a decent pay increase this year and a 5-year guarantee on no health care premiums. If you care to know, I'll let you know when it's agreed to.
