Status check

Yesterday was largely spent working on Chunga. We're getting very close to going to press. The three of us met yesterday to wrangle out the last decisions. Now it's just a matter of attending to details (proofreading, wee bits of text, scanning book covers, etc) and finalizing the design.

After the meeting we hied to Andy's house to watch the Oregon-USC game, drink beer, and eat pizza. USC blew up Oregon's dream of returning to the national championship game, but it was an exciting game that came down to the final play. I'll be happy enough if the Ducks make it to the Rose Bowl, especially if they can finally win the damn thing.

Today is more work on Chunga and then raking leaves and checking to see if the gutters need to be cleared. There will probably be more football and hopefully a movie too. I have Alan Rudolph's Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle in the queue.

I'm looking forward to Chunga, and what people have to say about Joanna Russ.

And here's a map of the new ship canail trail:

which looks like the pedestrian throughway of the spaghetti junction at the Ballard Bridge.

Indeed! I've lately been eying the trail on the other side of the Fremont Cut, wondering if I should explore it. Now it looks like the answer to my question about how to get back from Discovery Park. Thanks, Luke!

I like Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, even though it suggests that the members of the Algonquin Round Table started spouting all of the witticisms we associate with them within five minutes of meeting one another.

It's always seemed as though it'd be right in Rudolph's wheelhouse, so I'm looking forward to it.
