I am proving
this week’s previous blog writings correct. I am embarrassed to say that I have
been called out on yet another mistake. These last two were totally my fault in
not paying attention to numbers. Both instances had me putting in a wrong time.
And what was one of the first things I was ever told? Always double check times
and dates! Oops, sorry.
Well,
sometimes you need the slap to the head to get you to pay attention. At least
it’s not a physical slap, ha ha. I need it from time to time as I tend to slide
into apathy as things I do the same every week tend to be skimmed through. This
goes to show that I have to double check everything.
Book News
An email
received yesterday informed me that my copy of Too Cold for Alligators has shipped. I can’t wait to see it! Did
they lighten the photos? I hope so. They were too dark in the galley which didn’t
have anything to do with how I edited, but how AuthorHouse changed the photos
to black and white. I commented on it and they said they’d take care of it. I
am hoping that everything will be okay and I can have copies on hand for the
upcoming show on August 2 in Goffstown.
As for the
next book on day trips which has been on the back burner for six months, I’m
back to working on it. I have nine chapters done and I re-read them to catch
myself up and re-edit. I’m holding off on the pictures until I see how the photos
in Too Cold for Alligators come out.
I’m also reconsidering the title and use of subtitles.
Random Day Trips: There and Back Again;
Around New Hampshire in a Single Day would be a three line title, centered
on the page. I’ll probably take out the “There and Back Again.” I never like
long titles.
Upcoming
Shows
I still have
pictures on display (and for sale) at the Connecticut River Bank, Broad Street,
Claremont until Tuesday, August 5.
Uncommon Art
on the Common is a one day show held on Main Street in Goffstown on August 2

The
following weekend, August 9 and 10 will find me at the Gallery at Well Sweep on

entering photographs in an upcoming show at the Jaffrey Civic Center which will
