I have finished the sheet music pages for the The King's Lute sheet music songbook, and I have finished changing the reverb on all of my mastered tracks.

Next week I start again with the tracks clearing up anything else my mastering consultants (or I) noticed that needs fixing. Probably tomorrow I should print out the lead sheet and sheet music songbooks and check if there are any little details that need fixing. And generate first pages and last pages. The tables of contents can't happen until I decide on the song order for the CD, so we'll see when that happens. Probably this weekend when I listen through everything in order on 1) the good speakers 2) the tinny little computer speakers and 3) in the car.

At some point I want to go canoeing. I deserve to go canoeing.

Oh, and I have a concert tomorrow. For which I have been faithfully practicing for a couple of weeks. I should probably change my strings. And a meeting tonight at which I will valiantly resist being made responsible for anything. But I should probably show up because I promised.

I kind of think if it weren't for the meditation I would be a wreck at this point. But I am remarkably unwrecked, just kind of tired and dazed.

But, in the meantime, Pictures!

First, a weird rock that Peter and I saw on our trip to Cumberland Gap National Historic Park.

Ozymandias and Ramp tried to play the dulcimer Christmas ornament Peter got at the park. I thought they weren't bad, for beginners.

Next, this photo gives you a reasonable idea of my projection setup for the transit of Venus.

And here is a closeup of my best projection:

Remember, point the small end of the binoculars toward the paper, and the *big* end toward the sun! Don't get your eye in the way.

More mimmoth shenanigans. From left Ozymandias, Boomer, Dib (above) Dab (below) and Ramp mobbing the train while Max looks on dubiously. I think Thag was afraid of the train, I discovered later he'd hid in my bag the whole time.
