There's a story with this photo. Of course.

A friend of mine just posted it on Facebook and it brought back a whole slew of memories of one of my favorite days in journalism.

Sometime in the mid-1990s, I found myself running the bureau office where I worked. My boss was out because her father had died and the other editor was on vacation, so I found myself working for 17 or 18 days straight.

I was exhausted. It was a Saturday afternoon and word came in that a pod of whales was threatening to beach themselves off the coast of Englewood near Boca Grande.

I got permission to send a photographer up in a helicopter while I found a friend with a boat who was willing to take a reporter out to the scene and talk with the state workers who were trying to redirect the pod.

Isn't that a song from Follies?

A fellow co-worker and I decided to tag along because the rest of our work was done. So, we headed out on the boat, got the story (which the competition lacked) and enjoyed an amazing trip as we watched the workers successfully redirect most of the pod. A mother and her calf did beach themselves.

We managed to get the story written and edited in time for it run on the front page. A fine end to the lengthy work stretch.

I rewarded myself with a five-day trip to Costa Rica.

Can we move this along?

Great story, DR John G. I hope your bosses were suitably impressed when they got back.

John G. · « **Reply #110 on:** February 04, 2015, 08:28:56 PM »

Watching one of those Jessie Matthews musicals from England, "Head Over Heels." I don't always understand her appeal, but she's fun in this one.

They gave me the time off to go to Costa Rica without claiming it as time off.

John G. · « **Reply #112 on:** February 04, 2015, 08:35:15 PM »

I really don't want to work tonight.

John G. · « **Reply #113 on:** February 04, 2015, 08:35:56 PM »

Tap class was fun. Our teacher is trying to get us to learn the soft shoe. I feel like I'm wearing lead shoes.

I really needed to clean house tonight because a friend is coming over tomorrow to watch Boyhood. I just couldn't get the energy up to do it. SO, I guess she will see me as I am. I will run the vacuum and clean the bathroom, and do the dishes. At least that's the thought. I really hate to be such a slug, but after a long day at work and the temps below zero, I just don't have the energy to do it.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #117 on:** February 04, 2015, 09:04:06 PM »

I'm actually afraid I'm getting sick I really hope I'm not

Cillaliz · « **Reply #118 on:** February 04, 2015, 09:05:05 PM »

I worked late and didn't really have time to get to band rehearsal so I just came home and have been sitting in the recliner.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #119 on:** February 04, 2015, 09:06:18 PM »

I've had a bad headache all day. I did a lot of work anyway, but I'm not a happy camper.
