jennlkGosh, I hope so. We got nearly an inch of snow overnight Saturday, and as of Tuesday morning there were still patches in the yard with snow on them. I did not get all the cottonwood branches raked up last week. I got four wheelbarrow loads done, with a couple more to go, before I had to stop to make dinner. That evening, J took the wheelbarrow out to the easement to move rocks, and the rocks are still in it. I'll extract the garden cart from the shed tomorrow so I can finish the raking.
The Music Boosters newsletter is just about done. Still waiting to hear back from directors on whether I got names right, and there was some discussion about trying to get pictures into this issue. I came down hard on the side of "No", as there's really not space and we don't have publication releases for the kids. The new plan is to do a quick one-sheet newsletter for the spring wave of concerts, and have pictures of *all* the All State & Festival performers.
Today the articles for the UMW newsletter started popping into my inbox. It's rather a slow process, as a few of the authors don't start writing until after they're reminded to do so. The plan is to have this one off to the printer by next week, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. I think this is the last year I'll do this newsletter. WE is the new comm. coordinator, and she took most of the same layout classes I did at Tech....
I did something late last week that aggravated the tendinitis in my thumb, and set me back about four weeks of recovery. blargh.
DB tells me that the uber-annoying auditorium manager managed to get himself fired and relieved of duties in the middle of the school year/his contract. ouch. That's not going to look good on a CV. (according to the student grapevine, every student tech and half the theater kids went to admin and said that they would not work for CM.) JM, the senior Senior Tech (who was also threatening to resign due to CM), is now Acting Auditorium Manager, so DB texted him and said "CM is gone. Do you need me for anything?" "H377 yes!" So now DB is working the stage shows and the HS Collage concert this weekend, the ballet next weekend, and who knows what after that....
