10/19/2005 - I have a list in my pocket...

...and no memory anymore. There are a bunch of things, very important things, left to do for the event, and I'm running out of steam. To make things worse, my sainted wife is stressing about her unemployment predicament, which boils my soul every time I think of it. I got to see her smile once today, when I ran back in after leaving for work with the newspaper in hand, opened to the page 2 press release for the sideshow. It was nice to see her smile, if ever so briefly, and for something so trivial.

Lots to do. Something like 10 days to go... I stopped counting, since days and nights are a blur of activity. I hope to visit my friend's haunt tonight with the kids, and trade kudos, invite him over to mine. Maybe that'll recharge me.

List:

Laminate banners

Mount signs

Finish heart fountain

Finish Frankenstein

Finish wolfman's claws (Ironic, the ideas that came first are done last...)

Make pillar mounts for chains (to keep kids from touching the exhibit)

Finish the grudge ghost

I did make my soundtrack for the interior yesterday, and it's not bad... worked on my barker soundtarck as well (for the outside.)

I need more time... can we move the holiday to Thanksgiving?
