The final stage of labor feels like forever.

Now all the members of my household and some of my friends are pushing with me. Michael and I worked on Endnote entering bibliographical citations last night until 12:30, when we could look at no more.

At one point, he asked me if a particular cite was a book or an article. "Look," I said. Here's the title, and the name of the journal is underlined. And here's the volume number, and the pages, so, see, it must be a journal." [Said in the most matter of fact voice possible...]

Michael looks at me blankly and then starts laughing. He is laughing because, WTF, he has never seen a Chicago style citation and wouldn't know the difference between a title and a journal name if they appeared in flaming script over his head. Suddenly, I realize what's going on, and we both start laughing a little too hysterically.

For our next trick, I will learn to categorize and care for embalming tools, just to make it even.

But at least we are right at the final push, and I am surrounded by beloveds and friends...
