It's memorial day week-end soon, but also Fleet Week. I missed the parade of ships under the Verrazano Bridge yesterday though, I was too busy being a good girl.

I have been a good girl today too - done editing chapter 9, one more chapter to edit (I have already loaded it into the large file that contains the next 45%) and I can attack chapter 1 again... before starting to put all of this tentatively together and conclude.

But now I hear that it's warm and sunny out. I'll go track down a chinese lunch and take it down under the bridge, to the spot where I should have been yesterday. I'll bring The Fifth Elephant with me, and enjoy the day, the food, and having done what I came here for - almost.
