DISPATCHED FROM THE CROSSROADS, AT THE INTERSECTION OF wine & whine
Saturday, 7.1.06: Week In Review
Traveling.
We were on the road from
June 16 till June 27 — I should call our travel program the "no

We got home on Tuesday in time for me to go to an editorial meeting at the local paper. I'm on the Sounding Board, which is a second-class back-up to the Board of Contributors, but I still like the chance to speak my mind. We got 2 assignments, which I got done on Wednesday morn. (You'll be hearing more about these — esp if I get my opinion published.)
Wed. afternoon I met with Joanne P to hear about her 9-day retreat and to hash out some ideas for a little video/presentation project. I spent Thursday doing a little mock-up of my idea. I haven't used Adobe AfterEffects in a while and it annoyed the hell out of me to realize how much I've forgotten. Grrr...
