Seis de mayo

So, the text of the talk I delivered at Ravencon is online, for your viewing pleasure.  Here's your link.

Steve is shortly on his way to Portland to partake of the secret delights offered by the Maine State Democratic Convention; I will join him there tomorrow to do my duty as a delegate for Bernie Sanders.  Today, with luck and tailwind, I will finish the first draft of the story that's due on May 15.

In the meantime, I am soliciting recommendations for novels that are. . .light-hearted. They don't have to be comedies, but they do have to be. . .soothing and generally uplifting -- along the lines of The Goblin King, or Uprooted.  I foresee finishing Karen Memory (which I'm enjoying very much) this weekend, and the books remaining on my TBR pile lean somewhat toward the Grim and Improving, which is not what I need to read right now.

And, now?  I am turning the internet off, in order to get with the as-yet nameless short story.

Everybody have a fun-filled Friday, 'k?
