Now here keeping track of days since giving up the habit gets complicated. I don't even get the purpose of months at all. Why not just break the year into 365 days more or less. Wouldn't that make everything easier? I'll meet you on the 300th. The process I'm working on is going fine. It should be finished on the 68th. Et. cetera. Well, what's wrong with that? It'll be great for people who have given up some bad habit to keep track of how many clean days they have under their belt. You won't need to figure out crap like how many days one month has, or count on your knuckles. What do I care if January is based on some old Roman God that looks forward and back at the same time? Or any of the other obsolete Gods of yore. I say just go for good old consecutive numbers.
Oh, you say - but what about leap year? Same as now. Same as now. Just have one year that has 366 days in it every four years. Okay?
Anyway, in case you're wondering what else I've been up to - I'm starting to work on the 11th Man Book again (story by me and A.G. based on my photographs) and this time I've come up with a hairbrained scheme to at least get a couple of these books done. It's a combination process where I'll leave a blank page in the layout for where the photographic print is going to go, and have the text part of the book done at Lulu. That way I end up with a bound book - but with no pictures. So - I do the prints the usual way on the inkjet - and then glue them into the book on the blank pages. What you say? Insane? Maybe - but the idea is to only produce a few this way that can go off to publishers and agents et. cetera. Not to mass produce the book this way which would be insane unless someone wanted to pay a high price for each book. I mean, that's a lot of glue labor.
Besides that I finally got the kitchen back in working order. And orders have piled up again so I'll just be printing for the next few days.

Oh, and I've become completely infatuated with the wacom tablet. Yes, I'm now used to it. I don't use it for everything - but for any sort of retouching work - very useful. I set the first button on the pen to ALT so that I can do my sampling etc. without using the keyboard. I'm not sure what to set the 2nd button to yet.
