The second day is always the hardest

[ellenkushner]

Yesterday, I bustled about fairly full of bobbins & bounce, and even managed to get to the Gaiman & Friends Stories panel at CU -  cheering on first-time author (and recent Clarion grad) Kat Howard (w/a very nice early dinner beforehand at Thai Market - my cure for jetlag:  Keep Eating!!) - and even managed the small reception afterwards (which made me feel like, if not a rock star, at least someone with a backstage pass - also should wear a sign around my neck: "Will Socialize for Smoked Salmon" . . . .)

Today, however, it is cloudy & I can barely see straight.  I hereby declare a general amnesty:  Nothing Useful need be done before tomorrow!  (Nothing, that is, beyond troubleshooting weird B'town copyedits & putting away smuggled Cornish Yarg & various articles of clothing on bed.)  Friends in town - what can you do about that?  A quick dinner with Pat before he hits Bloomsday at nearby Symphony Space (which will also be streamed, and includes Stephen Colbert this year!) . . . maybe breakfast tom'w w/my dear radio engineer friends Miles & Jane from WGBH (who met while engineering Bloomsday here some 20 yrs ago) . . .  But that's it.  That's it!  No more!!!

And I love you all.

It was good seeing you and Delia at Columbia, however briefly -- and it was a great talk....

CORNISH YARG! Oh, what a soft spot I have for cheese that comes wrapped in nettles! Good on you for getting some home.

I, too, have a soft spot for it. It tastes good, plus, fun to say: Yaaaargh.

Love your icon.

That's "bobbance and bounce," darling.

Although I'm liking the bobbins image, especially given our respective mental states today.

We have left undone those thinges whiche we ought to have done, and we have done those thinges which we ought not to have done, and there is no bobbance in us.
