I wasn’t in Minneapolis long enough to explore the wonders of the internet. This will not be true of Baltimore. I will be here for another three hours. Woo-hoo! My attempt to stay awake on the first flight failed utterly. I think I managed to confine it to quick naps interspersed with attempts to read. […]

I’m sitting in the delightful Portland airport waiting for my 7:00 flight. I got up at 4:45 this morning, and am now attempting to stay awake so I can ease over a bit to Iceland time. I’m headed to Minneapolis/St. Paul, and then to Baltimore, and then to Iceland. I’ll check in again if any

Just the weather is gloomy. After yesterday’s glory, the weather turned back to a proper Portland spring, gray and rainy. I’m in great shape. Eve came and helped me really proof-read the brochure. The number of mistakes was staggering. Hopefully we caught the worst of the lot. So, now I’ll put it on a disk,
Look how beautiful today is. You can’t see the daffodils blooming, but they are lovely. It must be a reward for finishing the Home Tour program book. And this is the view out our bedroom window right now.
But I think the program book might be ready to go to the printer. Special thanks to Mr. Radley for his help figuring out a program incompatibility issue–from London no less. Now, that’s service.
4:36 a.m. I have printed the Irvington Home Tour Program Book minus three ads, which I cannot open. I will continue working with their designers during the day to find a way to get their ads into the program. But, at least we can proof everything else.
Since someone complained that I had nothing to talk about yesterday. I will go into excruciating detail about today. I got up and went through my email. I ate breakfast, a bowl of Barbara’s shredded oat squares with 2% milk. Then I returned to the computer. I worked on the Irvington Home Tour program book

I just got an email with my travel dates. I’ll be going to Iceland on Sunday, April 24th, arriving Monday April 25th. I’ll work on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then hop on a plane on Thursday. I should be home Friday the 29th.
I spent the afternoon in my favorite coffeeshop, writing and editing websites. They are perfectly willing to let me nurse a coffee and a pastry for hours. And they have WiFi.
This is a submission for the magazine The First Line. I am required to use the first line they provide, but everything else is up for grabs. Let me know if you’d like to read the rest. Rampion      As the warrior guided his horse back home, she pondered what the future might hold. Sybille
The opera went much better than I thought it would. Charlie, the sophmore working the fish, did a bang up job. I was really proud of him. I might be biased, but based on audience reaction, the carp was the hit of the evening. These photos are from a rehearsal, not the show–I wouldn’t take
Installation went very well. The guys the University sent with the ladder were great and very friendly. They got my pulleys up, and the lines installed. The fish goes up and down like a dream. The fellow who hired me is ecstatic. The show is Saturday night, I’ll try to get some good pictures. For

I was supposed to take the Big Fish down to the theater and install it today, but there was a mix up with the ladder. So, tomorrow I’ll go down and hang–or rather direct the union guys on where to hang–the big fish
