In which we threaten to ruin all your Wednesdays

Hmm. I have exactly 2 more tournaments to tab this season. Time to start thinking of other ways to spend my weekends. For a start, there’s about a thousand hours or so of sleep to catch up on.

One thing I won’t have to do is edit any more of Nostrum Volume 1. I finished it on Sunday with one last push. I threw in an unlinked table of contents, which I’ll probably keep unlinked, as the thing is meant to be read in sequence, and also an introduction. I have to admit that, 2020 Word pages later, the idea of going through it again to do a final check for errors is not exactly appealing. If there’s something wrong with it at this point, so be it. I’ll flow it into the Kindle app probably this coming weekend. Then I can move over to the more fun stuff, like the Epistles of Saint Jules to the Forensicians. And meanwhile, I’ll start hawking the whole enterprise here tomorrow. If you’ve already had Nostrum up to here, you might want to bookmark Wednesdays as your day off from Coachean Life. I’m tempted to do so myself! By the way, it will be a free download. This child has already been sent off to the world at large. Why would anyone pay for it at this point?

CFL Grands this weekend looks to be its usual small self. I’m surprised that one or two of the usual suspects won’t be there. While I don’t want it to be overflowing (or over 20, at which point we’re obligated to use 3 judges), I don’t mind it being bigger than smaller. It makes it just that much easier to tab. Even with three of the great minds of debate tab tossing the cards, it’s a bit of a sticky wicket. CFL has very real rules that one must follow. We try to emulate CatNats as much as possible, although my suggestion that we have round one start at 5 in the morning was roundly rejected. This year the event will be in Florida. Why can’t we emulate that? We can start at 9 or so, but have round one in Ft. Lauderdale. Who would complain?
