What hobby you've always wanted to try, but have no clue the correct steps to go through to start?
 
Actually, no, I do SORT OF time travel when I'm working on a new story.

Quite often it seems as if the events are happening around me and I'm just doing what I used to do... being a reporter, covering it.

It happened with this one.


Legacy Project- CANCELED

Las Vegas, 1963 - 1965

"Mr. Hughes will see you now."

Three young women shuffled in their chairs nervously, they glanced at the mirror across the waiting room and then made a point of ignoring it. Two of them were looking at magazines, the other filed at her nails absent-mindedly. They had all applied for a job through a personnel company that everybody knew was a front for Howard Hughes's corporation. And his corporation ran a good percentage of the city of Las Vegas, and now they were waiting for an interview for a paid position in a long term medical study.
During the pre-interview background inquiry the investigators hired by the corporation checked the applicants for one thing. All had to be between one and three months pregnant and able to start immediately. There were also certain other factors listed personally by Mr. Hughes that weeded out a large percentage of the applicants immediately. The three left were to face Mr. Hughes himself. He would make the final decision.
He was making it right now. ... ...

Today after lunch with my parents, and my brother and his wife, we all went down to check out a new... well, it's a pawn shop, a permanent garage sale, and something of a consignment shop.

My wife saw a couple of things she liked, but she passed on.

My dad bought my mother two blouses, one still had a $30 price tag on it from the store, each was a buck and a quarter.

My sister in law saw a jewelry box she liked so my brother bought it for her.

I stopped by the book shelf and browsed the $1 each titles.

And found this....

I would love to learn how to make things using stained glass. I would make stained glass lamps and sun catchers. Dream on because I can't find a location that teaches such a class. :(
