After sorting books according to chapters, spent today chopping up with X-acto (you know, those guillotines for paper) the entire 2007 blog, distributing those as well.
That took only 7 hours of non-stop chopping!
Brain-dead now, so will work out on elliptical and start A Farewell to Alms. Then to vintage theater showing of "Top Gun" with kids.
You know, I know the woman upon whom the Kelly McGinnis character is based. If I'm not mistaken, she's now the president of the Center for Naval Analyses.

Gotta warn you, as a kid, I begged my parents to rent that movie for me. However, it was one of the most awkward moments in my life when the love scene started! Oops! Just warnin' ya! ;)

Do you have a synopsis of the book you're writing? I've missed where you're going with it.....

Depending on whether or not the comments were included in your skimming and chopping, it's amazing you could do it in so little time.

Thanks, Sean. That gives me a much appreciated glimpse into "the Mind" which is very fresh! As a novice "disciple" (I've only just finished BFA) it provides nice "connectivity."
