but it is progress. More printing is being done today after problems yesterday with Kinko’s and their not allowing copying of copyrighted materials, even though he is the author! Envelopes are addressed, business cards are glue-dotted to cover letters. Last night I created PDFs of the newspaper clippings he’s got [...]

Revisiting July 5th
Posted in The Writer's Wife on August 27, 2007 | 4 Comments »
On July 5th, I wrote a posting about what we were doing for self-syndicating Ron’s columns: compiling db of names/papers, creating schedules, goals, timelines, etc. Today, approaching 8 weeks later, no letters have been mailed. Now, letters have been written; stationary has been procured; business cards have been designed and printed; glue dots [...]

Well, the semester’s over (except for the grading!), the students are mostly gone from campus for this week, and we are allowing ourselves to breathe, to relax, if only for a minute.
