Day 730: Return to the book!

I did a full assessment of the status of the book and was very pleased with the outlook.  I've completed 170 pages in 17 chapters.  Five chapters remain: Organizing Quest personnel; Classes; Logistics and scheduling; Games, songs and activities; and homecoming and Quest's impact.  Today, I returned to the chapter on organizing tent, cook and hike groups since it's the closest to being done.  Tomorrow, I will finish up the portion on the adult and student leader orientation meetings and check that chapter off my list.

Last night, I spent time researching publishing possibilities by reviewing books of the same type that are available on Amazon.  There are a couple common publishing companies that work with authors of outdoor education books.  That may be where I start.

We also got a new cabinet today for the entry way.  After looking at thousands online and in stores, I went with a cherry colored media cabinet with drawers.  It's not exactly what I wanted, but it's real wood, not a composite, the price was right and it was close by at Big Lots.  Although there were cabinets I liked better online, the difficulties of questionable quality, putting them together, and cost pushed me to compromise a bit.  Now it needs two fabric baskets to hold our hats and gloves.
