I woke up from a dream where this guy was muscling his way into the school. I couldn't resist telling him off, putting him in his place. He had people going behind each other's back, putting other people down. I don't think he knew what he was doing. He really didn't seem to have control of himself.

So I told him off. I surprised myself--I usually like to stay out of things. But these people were working on building up their trust in themselves and in each other. They're students, after all. I was glad I spoke up, even though I looked pretty silly at the time. It was a dream.

"You seem awfully happy this morning," he said to me when he heard me whistling. I think it bugs him when I whistle. I told him a project had been dropped that I had been working on. It was a volunteer project of my own making, and at first I was disappointed it got a tepid response. But when I realized how strong support was coming from the print projects and other media works, I decided it's best I work where my talents are appreciated. That writer, Goleman, had made his point!
I was happier; even the Salzer prints seemed happy! The little girl in the etching seemed to be playing her recorder for me!

I had to set the pressure for this press. I had not used a Sturgess for years. Lucky for me the Publisher had got a studio with pressure gauges. I started out with 2h30r. This studio is quiet. A person makes a whole different kind of print in a quiet place. When I printed her print, I changed the setting to 2h35r. The next, 2h30r. How tight does it have to be?

He asked me to prepare one set of papers for "Arboresence in White (on green)" and then he added he'd need the Salzer papers, too. I thought he was talking about the professor, but instead he was talking about that lady with the etchings. Funny coincidence. I hoped he'd ask for that cyanotype on Morillo, too, that he's had kicking around for years.
