It’s deadline again, and I’m swamped. I think everyone is, actually, because this is going to be a BIG issue–16 pages longer than usual. Of course that means 16 more pages for us to edit and finalize. I’m getting as much as I can done this weekend, because Erik will be in the field early next week, then his Dad and Step-mom will be coming to visit for a few days (they arrive the night before we get off deadline). Right now Erik is in the kitchen roasting a chicken and working on something else that smells delicious (I haven’t ventured out of my studio to find out yet). I know I’m going to really miss his help next week.
