I know you are just dying to know how I'm doing on the travel book... Really I know that no one really cares about it but me, but this is my blog, not yours, SO YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERY DAMN WORD I HAVE TO SAY! (bonus points for you if you know what movie I started quoting in the middle of that sentence) Anyway - now the book is 90 pages with almost 10 pages of photo descriptions added at the end and the first pass at the text in the book completed. I might still get it done by Christmas...
Work continues to be work. Things are moving along quickly, though hiring has been more difficult than I had hoped. I'm still only at 2 employees with a 3rd possible and 3 interviews scheduled... As you can see in the pictures, work also involved travel this month with 4 days of traveling for 3 days of working in China. At this point, I probably won't be back to China this year but I'll likely be back in February next year.
Of course, October is about a lot more than work and trying to finish documenting what we did in July! October, from the Latin "Oct" meaning eight, is of course the tenth month of the year... But, it was the eighth month in the old Roman calendar so we're still using that name and clearly Donald hasn't realized yet that the month was named by 1) a leader that came before him and 2) a foreigner or we would have had an executive action by now to change the name... But anyway... October is a big month with the NBA starting up and the MLB winding down with both the NHL and NFL still cranking away.
Also, who could forget National Adopt a Shelter Dog, Arts & Humanities, Bullying Prevention, Cyber Security Awareness, Disability Employment Awareness, Domestic Violence Awareness, Work and Family, Dental Hygiene, Down Syndrome Awareness, Healthy Lung, Infertility Awareness, Lupus Erythematosus, Physical Therapy, Spina Bifida, Pizza, Popcorn Poppin', Park, and Seafood Month... And there was something else that happens in October... oh yeah Happy Birthday, Lucie! Starting her second year of teen-ness, but still a couple years away from driving (thank goodness!)
Enjoy the pictures and come back again for next month's update...
