Most of the day was spent going through digital photos, journal entries and the database, building a chronology of our elk die-off last winter.

Part of one of the several large assignments handed to me last December.

That, and talking on the phone. Two boss calls, a hunter planning his deer hunt this fall, and a television pre-production producer from Chicago.

Tomorrow, I get to attend a meeting in the wife's office building. On the same floor, even. 'Course, about the time I arrive, she'll be departing for training in Central City, so there's no hope of having lunch together.

At best, we'll pass each other on the stairs.

And since it's been on my mind, a sunset from last February, with the infamous Rim.
