Most of the out of country cast is staying at the Hótel Frón I saw some of the cast at breakfast this morning. They got in yesterday and were on their way to the studio today. I go in tomorrow.
My flight was entirely uneventful. I slept for most of the trip, which calls for a hearty thank you to Mom and Dad for multiple eight hour car trips to Chattanooga. I learned at a very young age that if I could fall asleep in the car then I would get there faster. So, thanks
I left the cable for my Palm Pilot at home. Not only is it the way I upload pictures to the internet, it also is the power supply. Curses! I was going to treat you to a picture of me, waiting, but no–you don’t get to see it.
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!

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.
