Stilly, these will be pages going into existing binders. Just the continuing process. They are currently living on a dresser in the bedroom and in a row on the floor in front of the dresser.

Showed off some photos tonight at The Press Room session -- keep in mind, I haven't really concentrated yet on adding photos to the yearly accumulations, just odd batches as they come to the surface (mostly duplicates). Have several friends taking scanning off my plate because they want some of these visual archives in their collections, too.

Found a binder of the type I use at Goodwill today for 99 cents -- beats the hell out of $5-$9. I've gotten most of mine at yard sales since I lost the source of the econo-binders. (Since Office Max left the area, Staples takes advantage of being the only source, so what I used to buy for about 4 bucks each now costs $9.)

Had a daunting list of errands to accomplish before getting to Portsmouth and the session. It was actually easier in effect than in thinking about it. Only sang one song tonight as I was being a social butterfly. Gave away a book and a necklace...but acquired a pile of NY Times book review sections.

Tomorrow is the monthly sea music singaround, but I hope to throw together Nigella Lawson's recipe for no-churn coffee ice cream and get it into the freezer before we head out.

I'm exhausted. Think I'll sample some of the Valentine chocolates I bought at half price and fix myself a sip before going upstairs to under-react...after moving papers off the bed. Sigh. Then back downstairs to set up coffee, read aloud to Tom from Richardson Wright's 1943 book, "Bed-Book of Eating and Drinking", and put the house and Tom to bed.

Tomorrow is another day...
