I decided to redo the family tree…

All 15,000 to 18,000 people of it.

A tree is a database, and databases that have had bad info input and then erased (learning curve) have problems. So — I started over. OMG. I got 10 generations on with practically everybody—and discovered the program hadn’t been recording it.

Blooie. I had dumped it, think it [...]

Pleasant call today—

a skating buddy called up, said, “I”m hungry, let’s do lunch!” Ta-da. We revisited an old fave restaurant and survived it. They’ve changed their recipes back to avoid garlic powder in everything….they’re using garlic, real, in recipes.

 

This one is an excellent take on the English language

New things here—and coming…

1) You know I turned Protector in yesterday.

2) We have audiobook contracts for Cyteen, Downbelow Station, Foreigner, and Chanur with audible.com. If you buy from these links, I get a dollar. I’ll put them in the first comment box, because the program strips code from the initial post, and I haven’t gotten in to [...]

Even this late…you get kind of paranoid about shipping a book off…

…and yes, Protector has flown to NYC….

In the real old days, you took your carbon copy and put it in a safe place, found a stout box for your 20 lb bond typescript, [heavier with the weight of 3 bottles of dried correction fluid] and went to the post office, applying a green Notify [...]

We took a little hop over to Seattle…

Mariners’ game. It wasn’t the Mariners’ best weekend. The next day they were the losing team of a Chisox ‘perfect game.’ Bummer!

We ate far, far too much junk food.

And while we were gone, local temperatures had soared to 81, and we’d cut the pond pump and UV off for fear of having the [...]

New Books have gone up on Closed Circle…

…Lynn Abbey’s ‘Time’ books are up—new stuff, likely you’ve never seen before—Go see!

Ok, dear readers—I have another question for you.

Babsidi—Ilisidi’s mecheita—male, or female?

Jane has just gotten through her read/edit of Protector. Now I go back in to do suggesteds and maybes and to smooth the flow (she found one section where I’d inserted raw outline…)

and it’ll be off to Betsy!

Weirdness continued—or, welcome to an hour in my thought-patterns…

Re color being in the eye of the beholder: definitely. That’s indeed the point…that I think the road to our color-perception began in the sea, at depth, very, very early. That it was somewhat accidental—caused by thin-skinned creatures who have hemoglobin, the red pigment in blood…and who, circulating it through that skin, became red. Blushing. [...]
