So today I was at work for most of the day. We’re counting this as an accomplishment. I didn’t manage to do much more than that though. I really need to get to the grocery store and do some other errands; but I’m so wiped out from the drugs that it’s all I can do not to fall asleep at work. I did get my car filled up, but only because it was way over on the E and the “You must stop for gas chicken” was up in the front cupholder squawking about the need for gas. <\/p>\n
I’ve finally managed to figure out the Gettysburg Address lesson. I dropped all the PowerPoint stuff and decided to do it as another one in the Myth and Truth lessons (the others are on Independence Day<\/a> and Thanksgiving<\/a>). I wish that I had managed to go through my notes and drafts for my book. I haven’t picked it up in weeks; but there’s a discussion on WPA about devising writing assignments. I’m sure that I have material that’s pertinent, but I haven’t been able to dig it out. Beyond that, I’m not sure if I’m supposed to share info from a working draft with someone else who’s writing a book and needs the information for a similar reason. My colleagiality voice tells me to share with everyone. My business-savvy voice says don’t be a fool and give your info to someone else. Keep it for yourself. I guess since I haven’t had time and the thread seems to be dying, maybe I can just not worry about it. The thread does<\/i> emphasize the need for the book I’m writing. There’s nothing out there that pulls things together. So at least I’m writing on a good idea.<\/p>\n Time to dose up on another pile of pills and get to bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So today I was at work for most of the day.

\nThere are a number of misconceptions about the Gettysburg Address. The most famous is likely that Lincoln wrote the speech on the back of an envelope during his train ride to Pennsylvania. Since I can copy the backbone of the lesson from those original two, this should be easy to whip together now that I’ve finally figured out what I’m doing. At least I hope so.<\/p>\n
