Friday. Sun trying to break through the clouds. I’ve been up for a while, but the day’s starting slow. In Garmin-speak, yesterday was very stressful and though I slept well, it was insufficient to renew my body battery.
Whatever.
Breakfast was rice-and-quinoa cakes with cream cheese and the penultimate orange. The name of my next band will be Penultimate Orange. Lunch will be … prolly a leftover salmon cake sandwich with whatever veggies come to hand when I open the freezer.
So! Diviner’s Bow — is it “bow” as in archery, or “bow” as in Liadens are always bowing? Here’s the history, one! more! time!
Because the Padi arc is basically an internal trilogy, I/we decided to give the titles a sequence, to, yanno, Clue People In? Thus we have: Trader’s LEAP, Ribbon DANCE, Diviner’s BOW.
I know, I know — too opaque. I’m reminded of That Time Steve wanted to title a novel Writ of Replevin, and Toni said, “Err. No.”
This afternoon, I have an interview with Griffin Barber for the Baen Free Radio Hour. Which means I have to find my invitation email. Which is why I’m on my third mug of tea. I had Soft Plans to go to First Friday downtown this evening, so I’ll see where I am when we get there.
Last night’s ASL class was short a few people and we kinda flew through the lesson, and had time for side excursions. It was fun. I haven’t yet paid my money for the follow-on course. I will have to miss the last lesson by reason of BaltiCon, but I’ll be able to attend the rest.
What else?
Honestly? I think that’s it.
Who has Friday night plans?
Today’s blog post title brought to you by Messers Jagger and Bowie, riffing off of Martha and the Vandellas’ 1964 hit, “Dancing in the Street“
My husband and I will be heading to Boston to play Brahms First Symphony at Harvard Musical Association Reading Orchestra. It meets during the year on Friday evenings. We’ve been doing this for years. We actually met there in 1973, I believe. It should be a lot of fun.
What! No cat report? Ugh, yes, my night was interrupted early by what became the worst bloody nose I’ve had in several years, I believe. I won’t add TMI details to that, but suffice it to say, my sleep was deprived. we’ll see whether that leaves me functioning well enough to get some work done today! It’s a bright, sunny day out there. Notice it quick, before we plunge back into dark and rainy for the next several days.
It’s tax season for me, so my plans for the next week or so are to do other people’s tax returns. When one is done, there is always another (or more) in the queue.
