To-Do, with Kaleidoscope

1. Ebay prep
2. Laundry
3. Catch up bookkeeping
4. Find a home for kaleidoscope*
5. File!
6. Read Saltation submission draft
7. Break early enough to watch another episode, or play Scrabble, or something


Hope everyone has a lovely Fourth of July, whatever that means for you. It'll be a working day here in the soggy north, where we're promised a warm day with fog and a chance of thunderstorms.

Scrabble likes the new desk arrangement; there's room for her to sit just to the left of the screen, so she can watch me type, or stalk the cursor, or steal the lizard from its perch on the top of the screen. It's all good.


*Who would like to adopt a kaleidoscope? I've had it for many years (ever since I happened to be in an art show as the artists were setting up, and I heard the male helper of one of the artists say, in accents of Broad Disgust, "Oh my god, you didn't bring THOSE, did you? Nobody's going to buy them." The artist wilted, but left the pieces up, good for her. Later, when the show opened, I put a bid on one and brought a couple people over to look. She didn't take home a one. I wish I'd been around at break-down to hear what the helper had to say about that.)

In any case, Hexapuma knocked it off the top of the old radio a couple weeks ago and one of the lead straps broke. I can't fix it, but I know several of y'all are stained glass artists, and/or know stained glass artists. I've had many years worth of pleasure from the piece, and it's time for someone else to enjoy it.

My wife loves kaleidoscopes, and between her skills (glass and multi-media artist) and mine (engineer), I'm sure we could repair it, if it hasn't already been spoken for.

BTW, just received my copy of LUC volume 2 yesterday, and spent too much time catching up with old friends. Thanks!

...and the second to speak has confirmed that she will give the kaleidoscope a good home. Thank you for your interest -- and better luck next time!

You're very welcome.
