Classification...

I made notes on the index cards for the episodes (I don't know if I can call them "chapters") of my memoir. On Dreamwidth or LJ, I guess they'd be called "tags." The idea is to see a big picture of what all I wrote about.

I am pleased to learn that, by far, the largest group is "personal," i.e., no particular classification. These I might consider arranging in chronological order as a background to presenting things in general, but it's too early for me to tell if this will work or not.

The group "nasa/kazakhstan/space" is about the same size as "usmc" and "translation/interpretation." There follow, in roughly descending order: "chess," "ussr work," "magic," "travel," "borland," and "stars."

What will be challenging will be to figure out how to deal with items that fall into two or more categories, e.g., pointers to my piece on NASA virtual reality interpreter training live in both "nasa" and "interpretation."

Well, that's why I have index cards (I feel as if I'm back in junior high school).

Cheers...

Moving along...

The big deal today involved taking Shiloh and Thumper to the vet for their rabies shots and to have the vet take a closer look at a couple of things that Galina and I have been noticing about Shiloh. The clinic operates out of a container mounted on a truck trailer over on Stella Link, about 45 minutes from here, and the primary reason for going there is cost.

Once I got home, I translated an assigned file that arrived in today's email (it's rare for something to come in on a weekend) and then took a nap that again turned into sleep. That said, I think I'm about ready to hit the rack again, in a few minutes.

Cheers...
