THE DAY
Really tired today. Didn’t sleep much; kept waking up every couple of hours, grinding my teeth, thinking about the book and wondering why I wasn’t asleep!
So I was a little slower than usual again today. Did get started, though, and managed to plow through a fair amount. Also baked a cake for some very nice folks at the husband’s lab who helped get some old stories off floppies and onto a flash drive. What worries me now is what those documents will look like when I open then. There is a lesson in this, though: when you’re done with a book or story and a couple versions of Word go by? Update the darned thing.
Busy day tomorrow coming up: meeting with some very knowledgeable local guys about some town history. Also offered to stand them a drink after, considering that they’re doing me the favor.
And it’s storming the dickens here. Tornadoes west of us. The only saving grace: It’s rare for a tornado to travel up a mountain.
I need some sleep here. I had fully intended to finish this one section tonight, but I’m bushed.

What I’m Reading:
Operation Paperclip and The Pentagon’s Brain; I’m kind of alternating because, sometimes, the heavy deluge of facts just becomes mind-numbing–and call me a cad, but I don’t find that I care very much about what ARPA did during Vietnam. I’m much more interested in WWII stuff. (Although the fact that ARPA and then DARPA has been interested in a) nuclear strike capabilities and b) mind control forever is pretty interesting.)

What I’m Watching:
Catching up on The Blacklist. I am ashamed to say that I’ve not seen a single episode of the X-Files reboot. I know; I’m a cad.
