Auuuuuhhhhh...
Aug. 2nd, 2006 11:40 amSorry, but a formless wail/sigh/groan is what does it for me right now.
I have been so busy the last two weeks! Aki has been here for 18 days and goes back to Japan in only 23 more. We've been having a lot of fun, he was kind of subdued the first few days but has adjusted. He actually beat me at chess the other day, after we went to see the new pirate movie, what's its name, uhhh... anyway, he was proud, and rightly so - I don't throw games.
Kids are a lot more resilient than I thought, or at least more than they let on (you ever notice how, when they fall, they look around to see if anyone's watching before they start wailing?).
Lianne is back today, after more than a month in Sault Ste. Marie! Details will not be aired at 11. I am not anticipating any Aki/Lianne problems - he met her several times last year, at his request.
Leaving for Nevada in 24 days. PANIC PANIC! This year we will borrow my dad's pickup truck with camper, so we don't have to fuss with a tent, and can just pick up and go. But there are so many other things to do -
- write stuff for the Black Rock Beacon,
- check and service equipment (Pantzooka, water pump, bicycles, stoves)
- assemble stores (tools, food, sleeping bags, rope, chairs, carpet, water, gasoline, clothing, other gear)
- make new casting molds (thoughts: vampire fangs, better bat head, Golem head, Herman Munster head, suggestions?)
- do some actual casting (I had 45 pieces on consignement at "3 Crows Music and Notions", a store around the corner from the Starbuck's in Cook St. Village, then the place closed and I don't know if I can get them back - that's a day's casting), fortunately I have a new load of Cerrotru metal,
- and so on and on...this does not even mention "paid" work, and there is so much of that I am unsure I can get even a fraction of it done...
