The Horses are in the Gate!

 The editing is going faster and slower than I thought it was.  In fact, now that this project is moving, it is doing so in nicer ways than I had feared and I chomp at the bit to make things move faster.

Just because I know and have experienced a lot doesn't mean some parts are not looked forward to being experienced.

When JC was carrying the cross up the hill, he wasn't skipping along excited about going Home.  The cross was heavy, the beatings severe and, just as being born is a process, so is dying, and there are difficulties in both that have to be experienced.

So it is that I wasn't looking forward to some aspects of this part of the adventure.  Trepidation I should have ignored stronger -- I actually think I have something.  But I'm biased.I also lucked out.  Both my Landlord and I have things in common.  No, no, I'm not talking about the times we spent as commanders of Vietnamese Prison camps, I mean we've both been instructors or have training as such.

FvK has had classical instructor training.  He was, at one point, going to be a H.S. Teacher before life got in the way.

Me?  I talk and people listen to me.  That and I can translate any knowledge I have into the jargon and technical levels of anyone I am working with.

Sidebar:  I have been an instructor many times.  Ha ha.  The first time I became an official one, I contacted my mother and told her she could tell her friends that her son had become a Rabbi.  This confused her on several levels:  1) We aren't Jewish, 2) Huh? and 3) She has no friends.

Okay, that last one is a lie and a just a punchline of a joke, but I had to explain to her that one of the classical definitions of Rabbi is "Teacher" or "Instructor."  It is one of the reasons JC is referred to as Rabbi quite a bit.   As one I qualify as the others.

Ha ha.

Anyway, one of the things I wasn't looking forward to was the editing.  But as noted, luck was on my side.  FvK has done editing in the past and has taught several people how to handle the editor.  I have gotten up to speed VERY quickly now that I'm actually doing it.

I am even looking forward to it as well.  I am hoping to publish before EOW, but I have a large plate of stuff queued up to do before the sands of time run out on this week.Still, I've just finished breakfast and I'll be checking to see if the Landlord is up.  While I am connected to his network and have my own PC, the editing program(s) are on his machine.

We edit in the big house, I publish from the garage.  It works out well, as long as I schedule things accurately.

Anyway, his instructions on the editing program have been easy to adapt to and I am flying along.  This is good because I have another hour to 3 hours of stuff to edit. Add on another 2 for flavoring and when I am through I hope to not only have three items ready to go, but also the book ends ready and complete and the inserts labeled and separated.

That written, I see (hear) the dog is out.  That means the Landlord is up.  Time to knock on the door and see if I can get this plate of tasks cleared off.

OH!  I need to take in some dishes to was as well!  Just a couple as most of the stuff is disposable.

Off we go!
