Lorraine and I talked about watching a movie tonight. But then we picked up our copies of the book and proofed, proofed, proofed. Time after time, she found things wrong where I thought there was nothing wrong. With her help, maybe it’ll be absolutely clean by the time we end our proofing Tuesday night.
