Getting things accomplished

I've been getting more days off ever since I became kind of worn out. I took this time to get organized with the two sites that I run, Northern Illinois Sports Beat and Illinois High School Glory Days.

Did some work with IHSGD today. Earlier this year I made a research trip to the Princeton library. There I found what was a goldmine: A map of Illinois with dots on it. Well, these dots were every single high school in Illinois in 1920. That was in a book that had an extensive feature on the old Bureau Township High School. I finally made those updates to the site. Turnaround time hasn't been too great, but oh well. That, and a brief bio on Alan Sutton, a writer for the Chicago Tribune, for the Niles East page.

My scanner isn't working right now, and I've got pictures of Kishwaukee, New Milford and Dover Academy to put up.

There'll be at least four new high schools I'm working on. Lily Lake, Wasco, Seward and Orland.

I've also been figuring out what I'm doing for NISB in August. I've got a few columns leading up to the first football games. Because I just realized it is August 13th, I had to abandon my trip to Kewanee Wethersfield. I'm up at 4:00 AM and if I go there and report their first practice, I'll be tired for work tonight. Damn! Back to the drawing board.
