Mostly work...
Today, there was lots of incoming, and less of outgoing (but still a reasonable amount, IMO). And for some reason, I've become the object of several translators looking to collaborate along the lines of the arrangement I already have with Feht.
Apropos of which, I am told that sales of the small book I translated of Gulag memoirs, published last year under the title Keep Forever, has not done too badly in terms of sales.
In the course of the day, Galina and I visited the local library, where it turned out that the book I wanted was out. I must learn to better use the Internet, I suppose. As compensation, I learned, during my visit, that I was born the day after "Joltin' Joe" DeMaggio announced his retirement from baseball.
And it occurs to me there are a couple of "niche" subjects about which I could write as a subject-matter expert, and it only remains for me to get off my dead duff and do something about it.
Meanwhile, it's time to go to bed...
