Interim Remarks

[pameladean]

I'm working on my trip report. Something in the way my mind works requires me to do detailed accounts from the beginning, which with difficulty I managed to make the day that we left for California rather than the day I started to help Eric pack or the day he decided to move in the first place.

These accounts are going to be mostly very long. I don't use cut tags by the specific request of a few people who I am very glad read my journal and who cannot get to cut tags when they are reading on the road. I suppose I say this by way of warning, and also to let anybody who wants passionately to argue for or against cut tags in this context to do so.

I'm settling in to being home, though not to having Eric so far away; my cat is very dusty; Minnesota is having a drought, which is distressing; the present administration continues in its course of blood and rhetoric, no love, and no style neither, which is also distressing; finances and career are pretty much where we left them.

However, I understand that I am to receive some books in the mail soon, which is cheering.

Also, I've agreed to do a signing on November 14th at 7:00 at Bound to Be Read in St. Paul. I'll make a more detailed announcement with the address and so on a bit closer to the actual date.

I'd never have the patience for the pencil-and-paper approach, and I have a kind of negative talent in that area anyway, failing spectacularly to see patterns that are right in front of me.

Raphael found me an anagram generator.

Did you ever hear that wonderful story about Dorothy Parker and anagrams? She challenged the word "currie," until her hostess went to the kitchen and got a jar of (I think) Blackwell & Crosse Currie (British). Dorothy Parker was not mollified: "What do they know?" she said. "Look at how they spell Crosse."
