Month in review

Tuesday, February 03, 2009

Another eventful month, and that’s a good thing. We received our Edition 4 print of The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus last week, which is a really neat thing for me. I’ve been overseeing the print jobs now for a few months, and this is the second print to be completed (and delivered) in that time. While my involvement is not the major part of the work, it is needed obviously to keep things together and in order.

Last December we received around 80” of snow, but this month has been only a few here and there. It doesn’t seem right, but you have to take what you’ve been dealt with.

Also this month, I now have a room mate, Kellen. He’s up from California, and should be around for a while. And since I have an extra bedroom, he moved in. It does help having someone else to help pay the bills, but it’s nice to be able to help someone out with a place to live. He’s been here about a week, and have only seen him once at the house!

Last week was rather full, as Lloyd and Faith were gone for the week. That left me to do all the shipping, as well as some of the book-work. And to boot, paint the office / laundry room at their house when the were gone!

One project I’m trying to get finished is the Interactive version of The Stranger. Just today I burned another DVD, and I hope that’s the last time (I have yet to proof it again.) But if it passes, then I need to get that to John Cross to have him have a final look, before going to press. For those that don’t know what this project is, it is a Stranger book that has a DVD of 110 video clips in the back.  The book is marked, so you know where the video clips correspond. The idea is that you would read through the book, but watch the clips that are marked in the text, giving a visual of the concept at hand, but retaining the interest of reading through together. For those who have taught through this, it has been the favorite way to teach so far.
