Everything is running well. The trains are on time.<\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>But I&#8217;ve also had a lot of scheduling strangeness: artists showing up with projects early, and others late. They come unbidden when I do not call and are nowhere to be found when I&#8217;m looking. Not a bad thing, mind you. Every artist here is dedicated.<\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div>On top of that, I&#8217;ve been in and out unexpectedly.  That hasn&#8217;t helped.  For example: I stayed home one morning to watch the kids while my wife sorted through baby clothes.  She&#8217;s in full nesting mode.  The baby&#8217;s room is geared out for a boy, so all that has to be changed.<\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The new camera isn&#8217;t working right. Or rather, I can&#8217;t figure it out just yet. The videos are recording with very very large files.<\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Today I started getting a headache around 3pm and my whole body felt like some kind of chemical storm was going on. So, I went home early and confined myself to a dark room and fell asleep. I&#8217;m going in for a general checkup in early September. I&#8217;ve had uninterrupted good health my whole life so I&#8217;m expecting to get stamped 100% USDA grade A beef yet again. A hulking mountain of healthy man-flesh.<\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I will have an update early next week. I&#8217;m expecting things to come into alignment in the next four days. On Friday a bunch of projects should be done and through digital photography.<\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;m also expecting to play (and document!) a game of 40K with some guests this Saturday. A friendly game. Don&#8217;t know whether it&#8217;s going to be Chaos or Imperial Guard. What do you think? I mean, my Chaos got spanked by the Tyranids. Maybe it&#8217;s time to give the dogfaces a chance at bat.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picture: a Dark Elf Hydra, the new one, from Games Workshop.
