The Ethnologue Went to Press

It has been a good week. It started with an enjoyable dinner theater on Sunday and ended with the official announcement that the 16th edition of the Ethnologue finally went to press (the link is to the 15th edition). I'll no doubt post about it again when the book arrives, but I'll just say now that it is an amazing task to see to completion--for many reasons, not the least of which is how much work it is for SO MANY people. It is a good thing the work is done for love, because there isn't enough money in the world to make it happen for pay!
