Another inspiring ASI convention in Chicago! ASI members know about the Order of the Kohlrabi–our service recognition, but what about the actual vegetable? Well, if you were at the convention you heard that there is a kohlrabi cookbook in the making. We’ll be looking for member volunteers to submit recipes, and to test recipes using…

Working. . .
After a bit of a hiatus, I’m starting the index on Regulatory Strategy for Medical Devices.
The New Year. . .
After a very pleasant, quiet holiday season, the New Year is off to a good start. The cataract extractions were wonderfully successful–foresight and hindsight are most likely the same–but present sight is probably better than it’s ever been in my entire life. This morning I’m starting to write the index for Regulatory Intelligence 101, second…
Holiday wishes
I just started work on revising an index in a book with new information added–that’s my afternoon work–and it will be tomorrow’s work as well. It’s a repeat client who does a yearly Compendium on OB/GYN reports et cetera from the ACOG. The earlier index is still embedded, so I only have to add the…
Hiatus
After finishing the index for the European Fundamentals of Regulatory Affairs, I’ve had a hiatus–though two small projects did not materialize–but I’ve used the time to (try to) tidy up the office, write about kohlrabi, and continue playing with TExtract, enjoying fall (though there have been a lot of damp, grey days that make it…
TExtract, continued
Despite insomnia last night which gave me a late start this morning, I started working with TExtract again this morning and now I’m wondering why I’m tired. I’ve used it on different document types. Some very cut and dried with well-outlined sections, but littered with acronyms, numbers; another was that more prose like, but dealing…
TExtract play day

I’ve more incoming, but I’ve used the time between work to research kohlrabi, to hive and tend the bees, write,…

A pleasant thing today
It’s been a delightful day! I did my first inspection of the new honey bee colony and it looks to my definitely untrained eye that things are going well. That has made the current work hiatus very pleasant. I was certainly ready for a break–and yes I know I did the scheduling, but there were…
Pasta
…taking a break after I’ve finished the data entry for an index (before the final editing) I was skulking through the blogs that I follow. I found a post on Scripturient that I found totally fascinating: The Geometry and Topology of Pasta. You might be asking why I’m posting this here since this is not…
