Good week: no insomnia (although a short night last night), met all deadlines and items on my checklist, and made decent progress on Before the Blood. Even with my role as working editor this weekend, I should still finish Henry's third chapter (It's almost done), and then (hopefully) get some work done on chapter four, or I'llbe at odds during fiction time this coming week.
Today promises to be busy, but not obnoxiously so, just steady. But, hey, it's early, right?
In the meantime...
Check out the health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars. Three of them can be found at the link below. http://www.theherald-news.com/lifestyle/ Gotta Do It, runs each Sunday and often stays on the home page through the week.
Feature briefs for Tuesday (health), Thursday (faith), Friday (Arts and Entertainment), and Sunday (People) are also edited (texted and photos) by the lady of this blog, but only the stories have bylines.
Another option: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.
And if you do peek at these stories, to quote our editor Kate Schott, "Thank you for reading The Herald-News." :)

Joliet American Legion Band to perform indoor classical concert on April 30
Band Director Tom Drake said the concert is intended for all ages, despite its sophisticated selections.
“I think the kids will appreciate it,” Drake said. “One of the things that creates excitement in music is dynamic volume and Wagner’s music is very dynamically strong. It tends to excite the listener.”
