During the past two days I've started to get back in the rhythm of writing. Books that is, aside from this blog. And, as I mentioned recently, as far as characters are concerned, in my case they just seem to show up on the pages.
For example, a name that surfaced here yesterday is Alec Fleet, and as I mentioned, at this point I know little about him but am eager to find out what he's all about. Now, today a new wrinkle showed up. The hero in my books, Bobby Cole, is working a new job alongside another bodyguard, Tony Parisi whom Bobby just met for the first time. And, as it seems to be turning out, Tony Parisi works for Alec Fleet.
While that's all well and good, and the story will continue to wind on, I just found out something a little upsetting. According to Tony Parisi, Alec Fleet is a very reclusive person. He's not an extremist, such as Howard Hughes, but nonetheless rarely interacts with other people. The man is not only never seen in public, he's the same in private, too. So, even though Tony Parisi is a trusted, long-time employee, he doesn't meet with Fleet personally either. What that means is, I'm going to have to wait like everyone else to find out just who this guy Fleet really is, because, right now, nobody seems to know.
Meanwhile, President Obama nominated U.S. Solicitor General and former Dean of Harvard Law School Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. Though as an academic she has little experience on the actual bench, her credentials seem impeccable. Yet, despite her seemingly glowing reputation her nomination appears to be causing some sort of confusion, if not real hesitation among Democrats.
Because, for right now it seems that Republicans have little objection to putting Ms Kagan on the highest bench in law. "Now why would that be?" is the question apparently circulating amongst the Dem's. The reason their concerns have been rising is said to be that they can't figure out why the nominee is so acceptable to the opposition. That means they're going to have to dig around her credentials and life until they find out the reason.
So, if all goes along as it usually does when these bozos in DC get involved, an apparently perfect candidate will either be disqualified or decide she's had enough and withdraw.
The good news though remains as it has for those of us residing outside of the Capitol. While all the pol's are chasing themselves in circles and babbling incoherently amongst each other, we can just get on with our lives. Although it's good to have them around to talk about once in a while, because just about everyone enjoys watching clowns now and then.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
