I was up until after 2 AM last night printing scripts. Patrick indicated that he needed 26 and I elected to print 30 plus one for Christy. I got 24 done before I went to bed.

I finished up the printing this morning and got them packed into a box. It took seven reams of paper and I had to change toner cartridges somewhere near the end.

Scott is working a 12 hour shift today and he asked me to pick up a light kit from the MSU mass comm department. No problem - except I've never seen a light kit.

The secretary and I figured it out. I hope.

Spent all afternoon getting stuff together. I'm staging it on a folding table in the dining room. I figure if it doesn't fit on the table, it ain't gonna fit in the car.

All I have left to pack are my clothes.

Scott will be over tonight around 11 with all of his gear. We're going to get everything packed so we can get right on the road in the morning.

He told me that Patrick is having us over for dinner on Sunday. That'll be cool.

Christy really wants to come. If she could take the time off that would be great.

I'm looking forward to the time when I make a full time living doing this and we can afford more flexibility in our lives.

I feel this strange combination of excitement, relief and fear. All I can think about is that something I wrote is going to become a film.

The trip is finally here.
