I just did an hour and a half of bramble clearing. Mainly raspberries, which grow pretty crazy around here. While we love the few that we can pick and eat, they actually yield SO damned few berries that it's not worth all the pain of trying to walk around them the rest of the year in all the places they take root. But an hour and a half gets a lot of area cleared, so I did well today.

Now, you'd think I'd come back inside being a lot more comfortable on a day when it's only 60 degrees and breezy. Sadly, it doesn't work that way. No matter how nice the weather is while I'm out doing stuff like that. I sweat like a damned hog. Not that I'm so knowledgeable about how much hogs sweat. Does anyone know? Anyway, it's more comfortable while *doing* the work for the most part, but by the time I've done an hour or more of it, I'm a complete mess by the time I get back in the house.



We won't ask for photographic evidence.

Oh, and just when I was sleeping nicely we had an EARTHQUAKE! At 4:45 am. The building shook and the windows rattled. Gawd!

Busy day. I hardly stopped.

I explain to people that I'm having surgery next week and this week is very busy in preparation, but they still seem to think I sit around with nothing to do. I suspect they THEY are sitting around with nothing to do!

I know that none of your DRs are like that!

It makes sense to me you would be busy getting things done before your surgery.

I have been extra busy getting things done before our trip.

Is anyone watching ATLANTIC CROSSING on PBS? I watched the first episode. It was quite suspenseful. Looks like a good series.

Jane, I'll let you know as I proceed with THE RESTAURANT.

Thanks.  I have not seen ATLANTIC CROSSING.

Don't think we'll be doing a Q&A this time, however.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I'm going to put up a few new perks, including a very funny note from Harvey Schmidt to me with "Vat is dis, fish?" in it. Also, signed letter to me from Ernest Gold, composer of Exodus. Also, a signed note to me from her nibs Georgia Gibbs. A long two-page handwritten note to me from Sheldon Harnick pertaining to his musical A Wonderful Life. But the main thing is, for fans of Benjamin Kritzer, my very first pass at writing the first twenty or so pages of the book. It's fascinating in how much changed after that and how early the Susan Pomeroy story happened.  I would later  move that a few chapters later, and then realize that that was, in fact, the story of the book, which then moved to part two of the book. No one has ever seen this, not even Muse Margaret, because by the time she got the first chapter I'd made the changes that I'd made in pen and only gave her the first ten or fifteen pages of what was then chapter one, which became the prologue. The name of Benjamin's brother changed, too. And yet, some of it is in the book exactly as written in these pages. Not sure what to ask for it, but it's going up shortly.

DR TCB when you have difficulty breathing have you found things you can do that help?


I sit up on the side of the bed.  I, also, use my inhaler, although it doesn’t seem to do much good.

Kroeger’s just had a TV commercial in which they said that they are vaccinating a million people a week.  I believe It.  I believe the entire million people were lined up in front of the check stand I was trying to get out from.

Kritzerland regular Kerry O'Malley was on eight episodes in the first season of Snowpiercer!

If you've heard of actor Mike O'Malley, he's her brother and he is on the series, too.
