These are the hours, minutes, and seconds left of deadline. I'm in a good place to finish on time. I wish I could say I'd be early, but that'd be lying. The little things like proofreading each story and making corrections that the proofreaders spot and then converting each page into a PDF file and sending it over the internet to my printer... all these things are tedious and take more time than I'd think.

I'm listening to Pilot Speed (Wind-Up), who used to be known as Pilate. Good stuff. Melodic, slow, rocking in places.

"Easter Descent" is the title chapter 10 in Don Miller's book.
Don and Paul make their way down into the canyon on Easter morning. They sleep past the sunrise and start down around 10am. It takes them forever to get down there. I think it took five hours. I can't imagine hiking for five hours. I don't hink I've ever hiked that far or for that long. If I have, I've forgotten the experience. I'm not so sure I want to make that hike if I get to the Canyon. But I'd have to see the bottom. I guess it's the price you pay for the experience.
