April finds me on a short trip to the UDNC at April on the first weekend, then a rapid fire sequence of running the online Last Chance Qualifier in Des Moines, going to help CHSSA State in Los Angeles, and then the Mock Trial nationals in Phoenix in early May. Phew. Then later May sees me at the NCFL tournament in Chicago, and then of course Nationals again in Des Moines.
But there are lights at the end of many tunnels. The form of the new Tabroom interface is beginning to look like something real. I’ve even been nitpicky about text alignment in several places, which is a sure sign of maturity in design.
The long dark of New England winter has begun to lift, although as I write this there’s a morning crust of overnight spring snow on the ground. That’s not unusual, alas; we’ve seen snow four Aprils of the last five, I believe, but it’s been a while since we’ve had a significant amount. That said, my freshman year of college delivered two feet of wet heavy snow on April Fool’s Day; the week before was in the 70s.
And yes, the end of the year approaches. I’ve made it official by planning the annual July walkabout trip in a remote location with extremely poor phone service. You’ll find out where when I post it to Instagram or something; it would not do to have to deal with the relentless Tabroom paparazzi on location like that.
As if.
