alexpgpI guess. It certainly doesn't feel like a holiday.
Galina and I watched Stone Cold last night, a dramatization of the Robert B. Parker novel of the same name. I like Tom Selleck as Jesse Stone and wonder if this is a one-shot deal or might this be the pilot for a series based on the Stone character, in much the same way that television co-opted a Parker creation with Spenser: For Hire two decades ago?
The boundary between where the snow sticks on the trees and where it doesn't is probably within 20 feet of our elevation, if the evidence of our eyes looking at the next hill over is any good. For the record, the trees in our neck of the woods remain clear. Moreover, the sun rose into a partly cloudy sky this morning; it sure was good to see that blue color again.
I sent back all the material that the client had sent to me to edit. It was slow going because of the unfamiliar subject and because I had been instructed to be particularly careful to make sure everything was right while editing. The only thing that bothers me is the volume: I'd been told there were about 50-60 pages in the assignment, and that it'd be sent to me in parts. Between the material done yesterday and the documents I edited on Friday, I am way short of 50 pages (although if we divide the word count by 250, maybe I'm 2/3 of the way there). I simply hope there's not a humungoid document waiting in the wings to be edited later today for tomorrow.
In honor of the holiday, Drew's opening the store at 10 am and closing at 4 pm (hours corresponding roughly to the UPS drop-off and pick-up times). Then in the evening, we're going to have dinner with the kids somewhere around here before Galina takes off for Houston.
There's serious paper to chase today, so I better get to it.
Cheers...

no subject
Date: 2005-02-21 05:42 pm (UTC)I saw in the paper that Sen. Kaye Bailey Hutchison is now chairing the committee that handles NASA's budget. She had positive comments but didn't seem too enthusiastic to me. (I clipped the article, but can't remember it is or the committee name.)
