I love being colorblind sometimes - magenta and fuscia look exactly the same to me

Good job on the mock-up and all the other behind-the-scenes stuff you've done to help out, surfpirate!

It's not a color blind thing. It's a male thing. Only women think there is actually a difference between magenta and fuscia. Apparently it actually matters when it comes to shoes or bridesmaid dress colors or something.

They're both just some sort of "off red" as far as I am concerned.

Thus concludeth my sexist statement for the day.

Whatever color it finally ends up ... it looks good! Thanks, SurfPirate!

Here it is with the pink comb spine ... way kewl, huh?

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I think the pink is closer to magenta ... I'm going to talk to the publisher Wednesday on my day off and see if (1) they do gradients and (2) if they can match our lettering to the color of THEIR spine ...

If looks ff00ff-y to me!!! Kinda like someone's pink hair. Love it love it love it.
Again, thanks for all y'all are doing.

Speaking of team efforts - I signed up to help out the All-Tri marathon charity group on Saturday mornings. Basically I show up with food and water for the runners and provide course support while they are training. Starting tomorrow I get paid $50 a Saturday for the next 10 weeks, and I'm donating all of the money to help Vicki.

Bill, what can I say.....you are absolutely awesome.......I don't know how I can ever thank you for everything you have done - but I am very appreciative.

As for the recipes being proofed.....Many of my friends just gave me recipes to enter for them. I've got most of those in and I will start proofing again (I've done some) probably on Sunday.

Shoot . I'm glad to help in any way I can. I just had to wait to order til I had a couple of paychecks under my belt, and some idea of how the budget will work in "Auntie's New World."

I'm watching the Blood Work movie now. Turns out the main character lives on a boat!

Yesterday's course support went well. About 20 runners showed up, all training for the Dallas Marathon in December. I showed up at 6:20 AM with food and drinks for everyone. I put a cooler out on the course and then I rode my bike around the course, checking on the team to make sure everyone was doing ok.

All-Tri is like Team In Training for the Leukemia Society, but you can pick the charity you're supporting. Check out their website if you haven't seen it; http://www.alltri.org
