Samhain Moon of the Winter Solstice
Over this weekend I will print out my first draft of Missing, that is, the first copy after the rough draft. This one has many more revisions in it that I had planned. It will get reproduced and bound for my beta readers. I’m hoping they’ll finish it by the end of January, then I’ll go at it again. Meanwhile on Christmas Eve I’ll put initial key to electrical impulse on Loki’s Children.
Samhain Moon of the Winter Solstice
Kids from Mankato today. They have studied China and the first emperor. We connected though I wouldn’t put these in my top two favorite tours of the year. On me and them. When the students come from further away, they have to get up early to get to school, get on the bus, then make the drive. They seem tired.
Docent friend has decided to hang up his lanyard after 18 years. I’ll be sorry to see him go. Tom’s got a quick wit. As he said, “I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I’m in the drawer.” Quite a bit more than that. I hope we see him around at some points anyhow.
I have this feeling like it’s time for the semester to be over. There are 16 more Terra Cotta Warrior tours on my calendar between now and January 11th. That lengthy time off will feel good.
