skyringOK. So I read a book about the Enigma machine in WW2. I know there's one in Canberra. I link up book and machine and take pictures. What's wrong with that?
And my trip journals are big on aircraft. I like aircraft.
Good meetup. Great company. Tilleys next month. Hope it's not too noisy. Pictures from this one may be found here, including an excellent shot of Scott taking pictures up his nose.
Fridge magnets popular. Thanks Charbono!
Wings extended for another month. Amy/bookczuk liked the article I wrote. She was in tears at the end. Actually, so was I - I looked up a site for information about The Wall and right at the end, after loads of stuff about granite and design briefs and dates and dimensions, there's a note saying that people who can't get to Washington can ask for a rubbing to be made on their behalf. That struck me as poignant, and tipped me over the edge.
I've asked for a few wording and format changes to be made. It's not a great piece of writing and it needs all the help it can get. It will appear here when it's released to public view.
Bodes well for my book. As I think about the trip, things start to crystallise and linkages appear. Things not apparent at the time. Maybe my subconscious was guiding me, but I can certainly set a few threads running through the story.
Finished off my physical journal today. About all I need do is paste in the pop-up house from the Architecture as Origami exhibit and I'll be done. About a day's worth on the online journal.
Must sleep now. Past midnight after watching West Wing. Such a great show, but somehow the audience isn't right for the TV channel. Maybe we thinking people who care about politics and tightly-written shows aren't a majority. Or even a significant minority. But I love it. I have to tape it, because, like a Patrick O'Brian book, it repays re-reading. Or re-viewing. I pick up so many little details I missed the first time around.
Only released a couple of books this time around. Wit and Wild Animus. Left with three books, which I'll send overseas, probably to Fort Worth.
