First. About 800 words today. Over 5500 words on Ghost Light so far. All in that seriously weird POV. So maybe this is going to work? Or not. I'm still dubious. But we plug on.
Second. Meme.
Day One: Ten random facts about yourself.
Day Two: Nine things you do every day.
Day Three: Eight things that annoy you.
Day Four: Seven fears/phobias.
Day Five: Six songs that you’re addicted to.
Day Six: Five things you can’t live without.
Day Seven: Four memories you won’t forget.
Day Eight: Three words you can’t go a day without using.
Day Nine: Two things you wish you could do.
Day Ten: One person you can trust.
Let's go with the obvious first, and get it out of the way.
1) Watching Grand Geyser go off for the first time in September, 1999.
Then, hmmm...
2) Being made to keep my appointment with the dentist even after my sister went into labor with my first nephew when I was fourteen.
3) Catching my first (and only, so far, not that I fish anymore, anyway) salmon in Homer, Alaska when I was fourteen.
Apparently fourteen was a memorable year [g].
4) The day I left husband #2 in April, 1993. Unpacking that one would take far too long, but trust me, it was memorable.
On the museum front, I conducted my first interview, a colonel on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, for the new exhibit yesterday. I spent more time getting on-base (forty-five minutes, most of it spent waiting for a visitor pass) and waiting for him to get out of a meeting that ran over (for over half an hour) than I actually did interviewing him, but I did get some worthwhile information out of him.
I don't normally start interviewing this early in the process, but he's about to get transferred somewhere else, and will only be here for another week or so, so it was now or never. The rest of the interviews will start happening closer to Halloween, and probably run through the middle of December.
