Spies Have Many Hats

When uber-spies become uber-travelers, how do they find time to keep up with world news, current events, bills, phone calls, emails, blogs, and debriefing? ;) That's my dilemma right now. I seem to be dragging my top secret suitcase everywhere, opening and closing it, taking things out of it, zipping them back up, then dragging it to another location. At least, that's how I seem to be marking time. Otherwise, I have no idea what day or time it is, much less what's really happening in the real world.

I guess all of our personal life is pretty insulated from the big things, but when we traveling, we get even more out of the loop. And with my luck, of course, I lost my cell phone the first night I went spying ;-/ and so I couldn't even make contact with my liaison. Heh. I had wondered what super Jack Bauer would have done in my situation. Probably hold up a convenience store with a super shotgun so he could hijack the free phone cards that are on sale! You know how uber-spies are...borrowing someone else's cell phone isn't an option.

I have also forgotten that time has an odd way of achieving warp speed when one's traveling. Days become night almost immediately and events blurr into a series of adventures. Since Friday, I've gone to a concert, lost my cell phone, dragged into a creek, met a bunch of interesting people, went to a barbeque, played ball with two very raggedy dogs that wouldn't STOP bringing me the ball, gone to a birthday party, signed a lot of books, watched a double header baseball Sunday live and got roasted by 95 degree heat...and got lost a dozen times driving around mountain roads. And I have another week of to go before I sleep in my own sweet bed again!

I should be in Reno by Wednesday, authorly clothes on top, spy clothes at the bottom of that very important suitcase.
