I’m going to take off the rest of the night to read. And by read, I mean read an actual book and an actual magazine, not read things online.
The book is Innocent, by Scott Turow. I probably should have reread Presumed Innocent since it’s been years since I’ve read it or seen the movie, and Innocent is its sequel. I’m enjoying it so far, but I have the nagging feeling I’d be enjoying it even more if I had a clearer recollection of the characters and incidents from the earlier story.
The magazine is The Total Rottweiler Magazine. If you remember that I am the magazine’s volunteer proofreader and copyeditor, you may be wondering why, since I’ve seen it already. It’s a totally different experience to read it for enjoyment rather than being focused on spotting errors. It’s not solely the electronic vs. paper thing either, although it is nice to hold a printed copy in my hands and smell that newly-printed smell.
With the Total Rottweiler Magazine deadline a week or so tighter than expected this quarter, I’m a little overscheduled for the next few days. And I don’t like it one bit.
Since there are not that many APDT trials close by, I’ll almost always enter a trial that is less than two hours away. Unfortunately, the trial this weekend means three straight trial weekends right in the thick of getting the magazine finished.
To add to the fun, despite the beautiful weather we’ve had all week, it’s supposed to snow this weekend.
We weren’t able to get to class, so Freya is a bit under-prepared. Not a crisis yet but it may be for next week’s trial because jumping and backwards heeling are still not pretty.
I’m sure we’ll get through it. The magazine will make it to the printer and Freya and I will get through March’s trials. We will NOT be doing any trials in April!
