Running around
Mar. 12th, 2004 09:53 pmI've done my civic duty. I voted today. I guess technically I voted last night, but I dropped the absentee ballot off at the Board of Elections today. There is a tremendous advantage in voting absentee when there are judicial elections. I actually had the time to check out all the various bar association evaluations. The Chicago Council of Lawyers' was the most helpful, as they actually give specific reasons for their ratings, which gives much more insight that a mere "qualified" or "not qualified". Then I did my other civic duty -- I mailed off all my tax stuff to the accountant.
More preparations for the trip. I went to the bank and bought yen. And tonight I started work on my travel journal. I'm doing a non-adhesive binding, and for endsheets I'm using some handmade paper that another bookcrosser, awesomeaud, sent me.
After work, I stopped off at the Center for Book and Paper Arts for the opening of the show, "Structure and Skin". I especially liked Lesley Dill's work, and would have liked to stay for the lecture, but too much to do at home to get ready for the trip. So I had a glass of wine and some nibbles, said "Hi" to various people, saw the show and came home.
Tomorrow more running around. There are about a half-dozen things I want to do, on top of everything I need to do, so we'll see what I can squeeze in. At least the Darrow memorial is just down the street. I must go to Pearl, and the Newberry is too close to pass up their Mystery Book Fair, and then the Historical Society isn't that far away so if I time it right I could get to the film showing . . . I'm getting carried away, aren't I??
