Still lagging behind the pack, but fortunately I’ve got two plane rides in the next few days, which seems to be the key to staying in this ‘un. In fact, if I didn’t already have those flights planned I’d probably have to come up with an excuse to go fly somewhere.
\nWe’ve got a groundswell going for a wrap on Saturday, June 30th, which means slowing the pace down just a tad. Good news for laggards like me. If you find yourself twiddling your thumbs, this might be a good time to re-read and re-comment on the first 50 pages — sort of the AtD<\/i> equivalent of fighting me with one 50-page segment of the book tied behind your back….
\nIt’s a tricky maneuver, ending on a Saturday, but fortunately I’ve been slipping on my Tuesday-ness all along. Judo-style, my plan now is to flip that around and use the resulting momentum to our advantage.
\nThis week’s entry is on a Wednesday. Next week, let’s meet on a Thursday. The following week a Friday, then the last week — hey presto! It’s Saturday the 30th. With all that said…..
\nThursday 6\/14:<\/b> We dump the sand from our boots at the bottom of page 999, where “sod [is] giving way to shakes.”
\n(which is to say…. please use this thread to comment on anything up to page 999. Aim to finish reading that part of the book and to comment on it here by end o’ day next Wednesday, give or take)<\/i>
\nPugnax!
