Day: September 30, 2011

Friday!

No horrible commuting stories today, thank heavens. Even the connecting train in Jamaica this morning that I thought would be canceled — mainly because the LIRR website told it had been canceled — arrived pretty much on time. Today wasn’t much better or worse than any other Friday.

I hope to spend the weekend working on Kaleidotrope. With just a couple of exceptions, where I’m waiting on authors, everything is edited, and layout just needs to be finalized. I’m looking forward to getting this done…so I can pretty much immediately move into getting January’s issue ready. I suspect 2012, when I go wholly digital — and free, for those of you either with no cash to spend on a subscription or even just a bit of schadenfreude for my soon-to-be-emptying pockets — will be something of a learning process.

I won’t miss collating and mailing, though, that’s for sure.

I might also watch a movie over the weekend. It’s been a while since I did that.
