In terms of the originals (the art not thw writing) Once it is scanned why not hold an exhibit of all of it except the pieces you keep? Sell them for whatever people are willing to pay. Because they pay for them there is a good chance they will cherish them. Keep the money if that feels right, or donate it in her name if that feels right.

for the unsold originals follow whatever other suggestions appeal. But selling on a "take the first offer" basis is a way to get as many of the originals as possible into the hands of people who appreciate it. If someone shows in your judgement sincere apprecation you might even let them have something for free.

Man, our defense is shit, though.

But that's kind of a comfortable and familiar problem. Or maybe that's just me.

Speaking of doing things with writing, what methods have people used to convert text files to epub? I have Calibre, should I just work my way through the formatting there?

Loki's been Spooky ever since I shut him between the screen and front door for half an hour today. I didn't do it on purpose! He snuck in there as I was shutting the door and distracted, and was only alerted by his cries later. He was grateful to be rescued. He couldn't turn around in there. Poor stupid cat.

But anyway, he's been finding New Smells ever since, staring intently and been jumpy. And then he's normal until he weirds out again.

Ayup. It's so NHS!NHS! BAYBEEEZ. And I love it.

All poor people are basically jolly! And happy with their lot! And only have so many kids because the couples love each other so much! @@

And then he's normal until he weirds out again.

I'll take "Biyi's overheard phone conversations during our first year of marriage" for $200, Alex.

I have Calibre, should I just work my way through the formatting there?

That would be the simplest, I think, since you already have the software.

Oh, bt, you have so much more smarts than the Lokes. By a trillion. I love this cat dearly and he amuses me to no end, but smart he is not. Accidentally clever at times, but smart? No.

Pumpkin and Devi, otoh, do scare me with their deliberate clever. Wiley. Churning cogs.

I am so far behind on the catching up. Except to say, ita, sorry for your shitty ass experience. sara, sorry your market was grits free.

Jesse, yay! yoga.

Now I should really get cracking on the cooking. I am intrigued by cooking once a month, but sort of do that anyway -- at least, I occasionally make things that go in the freezer, often cook something on the weekend to eat several times during the week, and half-ass the rest of the time.

I half-ass our cooking once a month thing. Today was cooking day in our household and I made: chicken stuffed with pesto butter, beef stew, pork and green chile, which I tossed already and ruined a pan in its creation, cranberry chicken, beef chimichangas, pecan chicken with a honey whiskey cream sauce, sausage and green chile bake, pasta papa for breakfast, buttermilk and herb chicken and two more meals, but I can't remember what they are. It's good for us and less stress than cooking real meals each day.
