Proof of Life

Roy knows I hate missing deadlines. Maybe that’s from years of client work (I don’t miss that), or my Navy days (I do miss them), but I’m never late to post. The “tell” for Roy is that I pre-post a draft the day before deadline, and schedule it to publish at 0830 on Due Day. So, this week, there's no draft from me at all, and Roy texts, tongue-in-cheek, “I need some proof of life.”
     I can’t imagine a better proof of life than a hike in the woods. So here's my proof, and my excuse for almost missing deadline.

  1. Dude! You usually have something in the hopper THREE—sometimes four—days before deadline. I was right to be concerned.

  2. Three days before? Now you're just showing off Ron!
