Big news: Patrick finishes the first draft of his novel Second Island. Aside from revisions to section 3, it's all done. Hooray! I set up Cindy's and James's computers to print to the color printer. I did stylesheet sweeps in different browsers and made adjustments. Lunch with Joel at Andy's. My fortune cookie fortune said, "You will be needed for your advice or your help. 31 13 14 16 34 12" On the way home today it was sunny and freezing, like Seattle this time of year. I saw a short woman waiting for a train outside with her handbag straps around her neck so that she could keep hands stuffed deep into her hooded jacket. She looked ridiculous, but she didn't seem to care. Patrick makes pork in mushroom sauce over wagon wheel pasta for dinner. This evening, Patrick gets an e-mail from Oyster Boy Review; they want to publish his story called "Blackout"! Hooray!
