My God, Would It Just Kill Ya?

Throw a head in there somewhere. And when you do, make it accurate. Why should a head have the word "oligarchy" in it when the word appears once on the next seven pages?


I'm not going to worry about this stuff too much once I start easing some of these indexes off the schedule. Turning into a mess. I never (well, very rarely) get bored proofreading or copyediting. Indexing . . . takes about 15 pages.


75 degrees here today. First post of the year: Washington's (real) Birthday. And I'm working on a book that harps on some of the current woes.


Ah, woe.
