I just left the office feeling like I'd run a Marathon. I call our bi-annual race to finish the LATCH Manual my "Seattle Marathon" (the real one was run just last weekend). We found the race course had an unexpected, steep up-hill grade in the last mile -- a tether-related recall from GM and a proposed rulemaking notice from NHTSA that just might someday have an impact on LATCH anchor weights, both announced just a week ago. We managed to make it to the finish line with a last-minute surge of extra energy fueled by lattes from the nearest independent coffee shop.
I know Nancy, Denise, and the rest of our team, Linda, Nancy L, Katrina, as well as Steven, Sally, and Molly (our mas-cat) are equally tired and happy that the manual is now headed for the printer, right on time. I hand-carry it down there first thing in the morning, December 1.
The exhilaration hasn't quite hit me yet—probably tomorrow. Tonight, I'm just content to curl up with a book (fiction) and some herb tea. I doubt I'll stay up very late.
Hoping you all had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving and that you will enjoy the coming holiday season.
Stay tuned -- you blog readers will be the very first to learn the new color, when the first shipment of books reaches us in a few weeks.
