hildy89I stayed home because I wasn't feeling all that well. My throat feels horrible, but at least I'm not coughing as much as yesterday yet. The constant rain hasn't improved my disposition. I suppose I should be grateful it isn't snow. We're supposed to be having another writing marathon this weekend, but we'll see how I'm feeling. I may not be up to anything more than crawling into the kitchen for a snack. Also very frustrating because I learned there is anime con very local to me next week, so I want to be well, so I can at least consider the daytrip idea.
CVS had another guest speaker, Sallie Lowenstein, a YA author. She is also an arist and sculptor and teaches writing classes for children. I loved her analogy of revising to the polishing part of stone carving, honing the little bits until they shine. She certainly has more boundless energy than I could manage. I don't even seem to be managing time for my needlework lately.
One tool for writing should arrive shortly. I joined our crowd of Alphasmart users, although I bought the no-frills AS3000, instead of the Palm OS Dana.
Yet another Hubble discovery: This galaxy gives us a Black Eye
And also Museum of London is doing an exihibition on an Anglo Saxon king's burial treasure.

Date: 2004-02-06 01:21 pm (UTC)NEW YORK, Feb 6 (Reuters) - AlphaSmart Inc., which makes computer products for schools, said on Friday it priced its initial public offering of 4.4 million shares at $6 per share -- below its estimated range.
AlphaSmart previously said it expected the IPO priced between $8 and $10 per share.
AlphaSmart said it will sell 4 million common shares and some stockholders -- including Summit Partners, a private equity and venture capital firm -- will sell another 400,000 shares. The company will not receive any proceeds from the sale by stockholders.
Jefferies & Co., William Blair & Co., and Legg Mason Wood Walker are underwriting the IPO and have an option to purchase up to 660,000 shares from selling stockholders to cover any over-allotments.
Los Gatos, California-based AlphaSmart said it applied for a Nasdaq listing under the symbol ALSM (ALSM).
