I didn't get out of bed to be ordinary.

This pic begs to be a meme but I don't have a good one. You??

The pace slackens not.

This morning I ordered a pack of ten ISBN numbers. The paperback and Kindle versions each require a separate number and I want to be able to supply them to the mission if they choose to translate and publish the thing. Once you get to three ISBN numbers it's cheaper to order a pack of ten, so there you are.

Ugh!
I was sure I'd read that the standard blurb—"all Bible quotations are taken from the ESV and...."—was all I needed. Last night I "stumbled" (I believe in circumstance so long as it's spelled with a capital C) across a site that says the ESV does it differently. They require a letter before they'll grant permission. So this morning I sent off a letter to their "Bible permissions" department. I sure hope this isn't a big delay because I'm getting SO close. But I gotta do this right, so there's no option. I included my email address in the letter hoping that they can grant it and give me the appropriate text in an email instead of waiting for it via the USPS. If they deny permission for some reason....
I don't even want to think about that. It would be a MAJOR hassle and delay.

Pam's flight left at 3:15 so I dropped her off at about 1:30. I plan to leave here about 5 p.m., stop around Medford for gas and supper, and then push onward until I need to stop for a nap. Unfortunately, leaving this time of day will put me on the west side of L.A. just as the morning commute is starting. I may just deal with it or stop for b'fast while the worst of it clears. It will depend on how I'm feeling, how bad the traffic is, and what kind of time I made through the night.

Now it's time to pack the few things I'm taking, feed the goats, and get the place closed up.
Next time you hear from me I'll either be on the road sucking up the wifi in a fast food joint or at the kids' place in AZ.
