Happy new year - Looking at Chap 10 with a cup of coffee.

Whenever I see a young severely handicapped child it is so hard to hold back tears. Good thing my car has tissues.

Wow - I think a chapter I wrote back in November is in good shape. I review it, cover it with redink and realize I need whole new sections.
@malpaso Thanks - comments would be much appreciated. I do need to enable page numbers.

Even my later chapters get a lot of red ink on review. Chapter 8 is marked up - editing starts.
Chap 7 is done at 20 pages. It was a bit of a struggle. http://tinyurl.com/7bt6ml
Chap 7 in progress. Time for a break and short motorcycle ride to replenish the muse.

I am so happy to have found os.path.isfile() in Python. Simple pleasures.
Apparently while I slept I revised Chapter 5 - added a few cute pages on OO and what is the meaning of "self". Nespresso and Chapter 6.

Chapter 4 is in the bag (21 pages) http://tinyurl.com/96tdcr - Chapter 5 - there is no where to hide

Good Morning Chapter 4. Meet Firebug, POST, and the guessing game. Outside is it thunder, lightning, and rain - in December.
Chapter 4 is up to 12 pages. Need a few hours of sleep so I can get up and work on Chapter 4 some more.
Just filled up at $1.47 per gallon!

Having a cold and writing Chapter 3 is better than having a cold and hosting a Christmas party. Page 28 - up next functions and try/except
PS3 works as BlueRay player - I worry a bit about the heat. Guitar Hero World Tour arrived broken - long line at the store tomorrow.
Merry Xmas and to all a good night. Zzzzz...

@phubbard @mfeldstein67 @mkorcuska I usually am not critically behind on five things at the same time. I got one done so I am down to four

Way behind on everything. Somehow when I get this far behind motivation is harder. I apologize to everyone.

I like snow. I like cold. Icy intersections suck. Some sand would be good cause it may be too cold for salt.

Chapter 3: Strings done, lists done. On to loops, dictionaries, and functions. Page count: 19. Muse is strong but I am getting sleepy.
At the mall. At the coffee shop with a latte. Wish I had my laptop so I could work on Chapter 3. Up next: strings.

Chapter 3 is a slog. It is hard to compress a semester of Python programming into 20 pages. Onward.
