I just got an e-mail asking for my opinion on a query. I'd like to help, but I'm not to the point where I've even researched how to write one. I think I'll just have to say, sorry, but I can't give you anything useful.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

No progress yesterday, I worked until 9:30pm and by the time I got home, had dinner, and fixed the VOIP adapter; there was no time left. Well, I wrote a couple of sentences after checking my e-mail.
I gave a shot at feedback on the query letter, but I made the caveat that I'm not the right person to ask. Guess I couldn't help giving my opinion.
Beta Exchange person one sent me an e-mail, maybe that'll start up again.
I haven't forgotten about you erika, I've been very pressed for time with work and other things like taxes. When I start getting time again, I'll be looking at it.

It's all right, not like anyone is waiting on it.

I actually made some progress on 55. Not working late really helps.

Very little progress. A combination of working late and spending too much time examining my car stereo's wiring diagram.
