Arts Fest is going on this week here, which looks like it'll be fun, though also a parking nightmare. Christine Lavin and Don White are going to be playing, and there's a photography exhibition, and a bunch of different music things. The local high school drama group got selected to represent Pennsylvania at a thing of American high school groups at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, so they're going to be performing something to raise money for their airfare and stuff.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Readercon for me this weekend! I go to pick up a friend from the train at 4 and drive her up to the hotel, so goodness starts early!

Our wings are not tired.
We've gone a week without hot water, but it was during the summer after a hurricane and "cold" showers was just fine. Cold water in Florida is not cold.

I'm missing Readercon (and various silly shuttle rides with Theo) but I get HPF back late Friday and I wouldn't miss that pickup for the world. We've been getting some pretty sad letters, but yesterday, they seem to have turned a corner... So hoping she's having a good time.

Aww, I hope HPF has good things to tell you. I sent a postcard from SJI.

Whoops, just startled the hell out of Maria. Hopefully coffee will make a good peace offering.

And, because I needed coffee before I knew what day it was: Happy Birthday, Sox!

Many happy returns, Sox!
I went bed early and slept soundly and still am so tired. Do not like. Well, would like fine if I could take the day off and sleep, actually, but that's not happening today.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
