it's been a minute
UGA press's publication next fall of the coochee history remains on track, and i have wound up the columbus woodruffs' family history project to their satisfaction, and mine --- i might rework it into something publishable, should i get in the mood to do that, but for now it's their's with a fork in it ---
meantime, i continue to watch the toulouse requiem, as i call it, most evenings
and the animals continue to aggravate me

dog days of summer
Dog days bright and clear / Indicate a good year; / But when accompanied by rain, / We hope for better times in vain
coochee is resting or gestating or whatever, quietly --- but i'm deep in the weeds with the woodruff project
the juggler continues to keep me up late, almost every night, and almost always keeping it festive --- which i like lots better than bailing you-know-who out of foreclosure, for the umpteenth time --- some things fester to a head, and i think my relationship with him is near that point

swamped
the coochee history is mostly done but still a lot of permissions-to-publish for images and what not —my "Woodruff Chronicle," tracing their lives from Connecticut to Columbus is now back on the table, and going strong — james waldo woodruff (1879–1963) is the star in the last part
i'm supposed to be retired so all this writing and responding to people and what not is driving me a little crazy —

coochee
from UGA Press:
Great to chat with you earlier today. As promised, I'm writing to let you know that our Faculty Editorial Board unanimously (and enthusiastically) approved your manuscript, "A History of Sautee Nacoochee," for publication earlier this afternoon. Congratulations!
That means that we'll be ready to transmit the project to our managing editor to get the copyediting process started as soon as you submit the finalized manuscript and art program. I am expecting to receive the final MS and art program by 15 June 2023. If anything changes, please just let me know as soon as you know! As things sit, your book is slated to publish in our Fall 2024 season (think October-ish). If that presents a problem of any sort, just let me know.

"help! i've fallen and i can't get up!"
i am swearing off making fun of old people falling over --- the last couple of episodes i've had made the point
last weekend, getting up at 3 in the morning to go pee, i fell over and banged the heck out of my head (one of dozens of such tough head-banging episodes that i have had, beginning when i was five or six), took most of monday in the ER (CT scan, etc) to find out that I didn't have a stroke, TIA, or whatever, or broken bones --- but my lower back was slightly sore, which i didn't realize had even struck anything --- monday to the doctor to see if there's kidney damage
he'll have something else to look at now --- thursday evening i started through the little gate that keeps dog off the bedroom carpet when it came out of its frame and fell over with me on top of it --- what a mess --- juggler watched it happen ---meanwhile the 20+ year-old replacement lens that fixed the cataract in my right eye has failed --- already had a "follow-up" appt with the ophthamologist person scheduled for friday afternoon, but i rescheduled for a couple weeks out --- whenever, they need to go ahead and give me a new lens
also too, i could use a new cardio-vascular system, kidney, and liver at least
by and large, i'm not enjoying old age
