Working away
It was finally a pretty day in Chico; sunshine, upper 90s, and an air quality rating in double digits (50 or lower is “good”; we were at around 90 today, a big drop from the mid- to upper 100s last week). Last night, when I was cooling off in the pool around 10 pm, I could see constellations in the sky; the previous night, I could see 3 stars; the night before, only the smoky orange moon.
I spent a few hours on the article Rochelle and I are writing, and it’s almost a complete first draft. I’m guessing another couple hours will finish it. I think Rochelle and I are going to have to do a little Skype tomorrow (she’s in Chile, poor thing …) to get it all sorted. I want to send a draft of some type off to the editors before I head to Oregon on Wednesday.
We’ll be picking the children up in Oregon, too; they’ve been staying at Lisa’s parents’ lake cabin,four-wheelering, jetskiing, pedal-boating, lake swimming, inner-tubing, and other gerunds that are far more interesting than what I’ve been doing. It will be good to see the boys again, but it has been very peaceful here lately, too.
