Dateline: in the loft at Nona's, Terre Haute IN, 13 July2005
Got a geography lesson this a.m. that was quite thrilling. Turns out, if you drive the width of NY, you don't need to drive the width of PA. Funny how that works. So even sleeping in this morning, we're in Terre Haute by 4:30pm local time (gain an hour--a difference that will soon end here as Indiana goes EST all year round). Only had to run width of OH and IN, running into Dennis's leftover bits here and there (thus the grainy shot of the Welcome to Indiana sign.
Car delivered. Kevin chlorinated in Nona's pool. Up before dawn tomorrow for flight back home to pick up Penske truck.
The countdown begins . . .
Geez, I'm more tired than I realize!
Signed off first iteration of this post before stating title theme in full: Putnam sent overnight a bound galley of BFA right off the presses (uncorrected manuscript--meaning shorrt of the 50 pages of corrections and additions Mark Warren and I just submitted) to my mother-in-law's house that beat me here only by a couple of hours. It looks great. Just as thrilling as last time.
I even corrected a footnote on the drive here today, relaying it to Neil Nyren at Putnam by phone. I was listening to George Lucas' commentary on "Return of the Jedi" and realized my first endnote in the Afterword (Blogging the Future) incorrectly listed Episode IV's commentary as the source for Lucas' description and definition of what a "pointer scene" is in a movie. Lucas actually describes it in Episode VI, when the rebels lay out their plans to destroy the second Death Star, referencing the similar scene in "A New Hope."
Small point to some, but we're down to the small points now.
To sleep.
