Item the first: My father would have been 92 today. He only made it to 72, unfortunately. I am feeling the need to make spice cake with penuche icing, which was what my mother always made him for his birthday cake (the rest of us always got white cake with white icing, which still seems wrong to me to this day when eaten on a day not a birthday). Unfortunately, I do not have anyone else available today to eat a spice cake with penuche icing, and I need to eat one myself like I need a hole in the head.
Item the second: It's the first day of spring, but unless you're into the subtleties of winter blustery vs. spring blustery in the Pacific Northwest, you'd never know it (there is a difference, really). But Happy Ostara, anyway!
Item the third: After over 400 words this morning I came to the end of Chapter 15, and got about 500 more words into Chapter 16. It was one of those "I'm just taking the dictation" days, where I only wish I could type faster (I already type over 80 wpm, so that's asking a fair amount). My favorite sort of writing day.
And I suppose Item the fourth: Exhibit opens two weeks from this Saturday, and I need to finish creating the big panels today! (the text is written, the pictures are chosen, the graphic design is done -- it's just a matter of plugging everything in now). The photo panels and the timeline panels are done, so the only things left after the big panels are the artifact labels and the acknowledgement panel, and doublecheck that the three or four other panels are really as finished as they should be. Then it's just a matter of physically putting the puzzle all together in the last week. Gods, I can't wait till this is over.
