It's been an exciting day of odds and ends. We've updated the ReadWriteThink Advisory Board, which meant related changes to
the Web page. One name is forthcoming, and we will eventually have bio pages for each member.
In preparation for revision and editing of the January calendar, I brought the entries all forward from 2005 to 2006. The goal is to have them live before December 1, so that the "Next Month" link works. Timing my be difficult on this one, given the fact that 4 of the 7 days allowed for editing are Thanksgiving holiday/weekend. I haven't exactly figured out my Thanksgiving plans, but they don't really include the January calendar.
I did a little working ahead on the Ideas section for Inbox. This week's edition hasn't gone out yet. It's being held for stories on the NAEP scores. But I finished my writing yesterday. I decided to look at the resources for next week, and it turned out to be easy to assemble. So next week's Halloween-inspired column is ready and waiting.
On a silly whim, I visited the
Factory Card and Party Outlet and bought up more Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations for the office on my way home. Sorry. I didn't buy any costumes so there will be no pictures of me as Cleopatra or a Bar Wench. And no, you're not getting
a bee either.
