There is definitely a plan afoot (or a-car or a-Jeep). I'm hoping to be in Minneapolis for juliana's wedding at the end of August, but I'm keeping September basically open for you, until you know.

And it isn't completely off-topic nattering; I want to give you books.

juliana's wedding at the end of August

Dates, please? Or, once you have them?

I want to give you books.

Wheeeeeeee! Yay me!

Heh.

I'll double-check with juliana. It's possible I won't make it to Minneapolis, since money is very tight right now and will be until Nic gets a job, but I'm absolutely intending to go if it's possible. I think it's the last week in August.

Could you let me know, when things are finalized?

The one thing I know I have to do is be back in Israel on the middle of September for Rosh Hashana. So there's a definite end deadline for everything, and I'm not sure yet about the timing of the beginning of the trip. Things are still being settled, and one of the factors is definitely people's schedules.

Nilly, you bet.

Great. Thanks.

t /Releases the thread back to the writers. Sorry about that

Nilly, I *love* the idea of a hands drabble.

Also, you CAN write. I offer this as proof:

my grandmother used to do that, with her long beautiful damaged-from-decades of hard work hands, which were stronger than mine even when she was in her seventies and I a healthy teenager. And then I thought about how, after my grandmother passed away, my mom started to pick up a few hands gestures of hers, gestures that she never used before.

Also, it sounds like "squeezing" is the right word. You could also use "wringing." Mop is probably the right word, though.

Wheeeeeeee! Yay me!

Nilly, I expect that so many people will want to give you things that you should plan to ship a box or two of goodies before heading back home. *grin*

My tagline is not "Swouncing" for nothing. You guys!

[Edit: not being able to spell in this thread is especially edit-worthy]

connie -- what was the book?

"A Death in Two Parts".
