Breaking 200K...

I've been sticking with the exercises offered by memrise.com and broke into the "top 25 all-time point-getters" while crossing the 200,000 point mark. With that accomplishment under my belt and a five doillar bill, I'm sure I can buy a latte at almost any Starbucks, but the "side-effect" of hanging out at the site is that I have actually picked up some vocabulary and I am more mindful of the mnemonics that are successful (and those that are, alas, not).

So far, that mindfulness is more felt than thought, but there is certainly more than a hint of progress in the air.

* * *Whatever Huntur had yesterday was gone today, so I had dinner with Drew and Shannon on their front porch. It was marvelous.

Hunter surprised me a little by coming out of the living room a couple of times to read us something she had come up with in Wordpad. I was impressed with her stick-to-it attitude and with the fact that she actually wrote quite a bit of stuff.

* * *Translation work advaned, perhaps not as much as I would have liked, but the prose was pretty dense today. I figure if I can push my way through 500-600 words per day from now to the end of the month, I'll make my deadline.

Time to relax... maybe even go to sleep. I have a feeling this is going to be an interesting week for work.

Cheers...
