COLT: Progress, and a change of plans.
I took a few comics issues along with me to Houston, figuring maybe I'd have time to make a little progress on a couple. I made more progress than I expected and so in the last week or two managed to finish up the year 2000 stuff. So 2003 was done in December (rather than in April) and 2000 is done now (rather than September). I didn't expect to be at this point, but I also don't consider this speed to be sustainable.

Not bad. While taking care of 2003 and 2000 it became clear that jumping around in time would probably be a bigger problem than just picking a year and plowing through it. So I've changed my schedule, but still keeping the old rate of 3 issues (including the new releases) per month as a minimum.

I'll probably start on issue #86 later tonight, though I don't know that I'll finish it before I get #110. While #110 is out today, I won't get a copy until at least Saturday. It might even be possible to catch up this year yet, doing an extra issue each month, but I'm not sure trying is a good idea. There are other things to do.
