Carsonie's
For dinner with Mike & Jen, Allison & Anneleise,
Laurie & Don, Ashley & friend
Requiem
rehearsal
With orchestra; we went through it twice. Not bad,
though Al is concerned that we keep going flat

Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

But I don't think he would say "try and."
Amy
agreed; this had bothered her, too.
I
thought on first hearing that the title gave it a humoresque Thurber-inspired
feel, but of course not. It's pure (Sherlock) Holmesian.

Pseudo-dinner
Chips salsa & banana pudding.
Amy
to Columbus
Managed
to sign out the first Lifestyles & Living section
Not enough space, not enough design, but it's out.
Better things to come.
Lunch
with Andrew Lavinsky
Haven't seen him in many years (we didn't figure out
exactly how many)
He
is back from China / Mongolia, with a wife and 6-month old daughter.
Thurman
Café.
Telephone
time
Spent much time on the telephone with a former employee
who wouldn't reveal his name to the receptionist. I do not like the
telephone, and am not adept at ending telephone conversations gracefully
-- thus when the other party is equally incapable (or perhaps unwilling)
to end it, the thing becomes grotesque.

Choir
rehearsal
Still too agitated from the day's deadlines to properly
concentrate. I missed most of the cutoffs, which Rutter placed nearly
always on the & of the beats, requiring extra attention.
Aggravating
deadlines
After an hour-long all-staff meeting, we were reminded
that a publication deadlined this evening. Having been working under
the assumption that it deadlined Friday, we were in no position to
get it out soon. I had to leave for choir at 7:30, but the others
lasted until 9 getting it wrapped up.

Cleaned
out the garage
Or at least, cleaned it up a little. There is now
room to walk on either side of the car.

Difficult
to get into; by page 75 there was the barest hint of a plot.

Justification
through faith alone
Pastor Hudson preached a very Lutheran sermon and
pleased M & G greatly.
The
congregation sang fromvthe hymnal, and then the choir sang during
the offertory. Just to reënforce the message.
Bexley
afterward.
A
new hibiscus bloom has opened to replace Friday's. Spent the day cleaning
up the back garden (as yesterday).
