BBB's Blog
If you've ever wondered what it's like to run a magazine or how crazy my personal life is, be sure to read the behind-the-scenes peek at the daily trials and tribulations of running True West. Culled straight from my Franklin Daytimer, it contains actual journal entries, laid out raw and uncensored. Some of it is enlightening. Much of it is embarrassing, but all of it is painfully true.
In addition to this current journal, my early journal entries show the rocky road and money lost in the True West Business Timeline.
Bob's biography - The Unvarnished Truth
May 13, 2008
It's snowing in Flagstaff! Quite overcast and cool here. Supposed to rain later today. This is heavenly for us desert dwellers. Wore a sweatshirt on my bikeride this morning.
Went to a yoga class this morning for old people. They sure looked old too, but I have a sneaking suspicion half the class is younger than me. Ha. This made Kathy very happy (me going to the class) and she gave me a big kiss.
Came into the office and worked on the 20-page excerpt for Mickey Free. Got a haircut at noon. Made salmon last night and having that for lunch.
A freind of mine who lives in Tombstone says the town too tough to die is getting weirder and meaner. As I understand it, two local re-enactors began arguing before a recent show at the O.K. Corral about which one of them would play Doc Holliday. The guy who lost and was forced to play Morgan Earp, shot the guy playing Doc in the face with a blank during the performance. This is very dangerous, as a point blank shot even with a blank will tear a big hole in a coke can. The victim was airlifted to a hospital.
My friend says there's a drunkin' veneer of meanness that has spread over the town.
"This fight has commenced. Get to fighting or get away."
