New Moon

It is easy to see that, even in the freedom of early youth, an American girl never quite loses control of herself; she enjoys all permitted pleasures without losing her head about any of them, and her reason never lets the reins go, though it may often seem to let them flap.

One year ago: Sleepy Hollow

I had a real struggle with an article today at work. It had ten graphics included. I messed up by misnumbering them, then got confused and had to start again. I also had to recreate four charts that were too wide as created by the columnist involved. It all took much longer than it should have.

In the evening, I effectively decided against going dancing, by lying down and napping instead.

I was pointed by the Loose Leaf Book Company (a good radio show about kids' books) to a magazine for girls that looks valuable: New Moon. I told Jack he should get a subscription for H----. If he doesn't, I think I will!
