Ahead of the clock

I'm about 28% through my initial sweep through the translation, but only 20% through the contract period. If I keep up my current pace, I'll be close to 45% done by the time my contract is 25% up. This is better news than I thought! If I can be 70-75% done by the time I reach Berlin in October, then I should have ample time to finish the job, translate the poetry well, proofread in detail, and turn in a nice finished copy with cross-checked references in January! w00t!

To change the subject quite entirely, Dara Torres is the most hard-core woman alive. Forty-one, mother of a two-year-old, and 1/100th of a second away from Olympic gold in the 50 m freestyle sprint. She's beating people young enough to be her kids in Olympic finals! Respect, ma'am, respect.
