How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Recommendation X-2

Welcome to the first full day of work for the new decade.  Where better to kick it off than within the confines of this old room at the board at 1601?  Most of the same characters kicking about in the same manner as ever, with a new inductee or two here and there.  I do enjoy showing up simply to say, "No questions Mr. Chair."  The listing of background, qualifications, and job changes a subtle reminder of the changes over the years since 2009.

Email with suggested edits sent to Stransky's neighbour, the first writing success out of the MFA.  Appropriate given that the underlying incident served to motivate the enrollment in the course. The challenge now is to rack up a few more publications, completion of 15,000 more words by St. Patrick's Day or so, and confirmation of the TravelCon attendance.  The latter a bit of an expense in the midst of all the other uncertainties, but the destination and the opportunities almost too perfect to turn down at this stage in the manuscript.  But there is time to see.
