kinzelThe With Stars Underfoot packing is somewhat slower than I'd anticipated, in part because of Rolanni's cold, which is slowly seeping out of her and into me, and in part because the number of available secondary choices has complicated the actual pick-to-pack. Several orders have had 14 different items....
In any case, I think all of the single item North American pre-orders are on their way; in addition to a few extra large-order US and Canadian shipments today's scheduled packing includes orders to Norway, Germany, Sweden, UK, AK, and some military addresses. We continue to get a few new orders, but they go onto the bottom of the pile and will get processed later this week.
Today's run to the Post Office may be complicated by low local energy level, with Rolanni a victim of a low-sleep night and my snuffle-and-sneeze act coming center stage. Sigh. I'm behind on story stuff, and on getting back to personal email, on making a couple of SRM Publisher Ltd decisions, and etc. May skip chess tonight, or go early and leave early.
Haven't been doing much surfing, though this did come to my attention:
http://www.swarthmore.edu/NatSci/cpurrin1/textbookdisclaimers/ for you textbook disclaimer fans.
As noted elsewhere I got us out of the house Saturday, running the roads after the Saturday chapbook mailrun, pointing the car toward the new bridge across the Kennenbec River in Augusta and then, with momentum in tire, down to Rockland with Rolanni pointing the way. Took in a new-to-us Italian restaurant (a theme with me, as it were) and then on a lark visited an open house for a house just barely overlooking the bay. Looks like there'd be room for a webcam to poke it's nose out and supply regular updates on ocean-action, but the house itself was considerably too small in the office-space department. Now if the basement had been a stand-up basement....
On the other hand, he says, we're kinda looking at the coast and a walkable neighborhood for an eventual move, and it is always good to smell the sea air.
Was treated to the Baltimore Ravens running with the big dogs for the first half of yesterday's game as I packed books in the basement. Was amused to hear the announcer call the Baltimore team "the Colts" on several plays -- but he's an older announcer and some habits are hard to break. The second half of the game wasn't near as much fun, though I do wonder af the number of face-masking penalties called against the Patriots.
Have to feed the cat and get my coffee and take stock. Might make a late run to the PO and skip chess. And gee, I really hate to miss all the special after Thanksgiving shopping. I do need to get some more egg nog, pumpkin pie, and mince pie in house, though.
