Day 1151: Up and at 'em!

Tonight I ate a scrambled egg!  Still nauseous and a bit shaky, but I'm making progress.  It turns out that my good friend Ellen and I had the bug at the same time.  Where on earth did we get it last week?  We spent four days together so it had to be the same source.  The puzzle is why our friend's husband got it at the exact same time when we never saw him.   She must have been the carrier.

I made two important decisions today about the book.  First, I cannot be objective about the chapter on our leadership period.  I need help to cut out material that I treasure, but probably does not move the story forward.  So, the three history chapters are going to editors now, before they're finished, cause it's driving me crazy.  I always knew they would be the most difficult part of the book.

I will move on to the student leader chapter and come back to them in a week.  Several new student leaders have submitted questionnaires and I found older Spectator articles and letters that I can use as well.  It's closer to being done and I'm not as emotionally invested in that content.  All the hours in the chair have actually paid off!

It's official! February is now the coldest month ever in western NY!

Steve hard at work!

We were building bunk beds for the cabin.
