rolanniWe decided not to push on six hours more to achieve Maine by early morning tomorrow. We're both slightly under the weather and the better part of valor seemed to start the drive on a good night's sleep. Cleared the Amended Plan with the housesitter and expect to raise the Cat Farm tomorrow afternoonish.
Can someone who has the paper book in hand confirm for me that it states on the title page that this novel is the sequel to Scout's Progress? I remembered that the galleys had said it was the sequel to Saltation, which was Just Wrong. I fixed it, but what I can't remember is if Baen just dropped the whole sequel thing as being too much of a PITA or if in fact they corrected it.
Have I mentioned here that the Powers What Am at the day-job decreed a 12-week summer this year, in place of the Usual nine? On the one hand, God She Knows I need the time. On the other hand, it would have been nice to have had more than two weeks' notice so we would have, I dunno, budgeted for an extra three weeks of 15 hours per. May have to go through the closet again when we get home and see if there's anything else of interest lurking in a back corner.
The Fairfield Inn in East Greenbush is a pleasant place, situated on a hill overlooking downtown Rensselaer. It's a misty but clement 83 degrees F/28C as a I write this. Tomorrow's high temperature in Beautiful Central Maine is projected to be 67F/19C. That'll be nice.
It will also be nice to talk with the cats again. Harwill the platypus has done a trojan job of tour guide and guard marsupial, but I sense that he's becoming tired of our demanding and erractic ways. Also? Not a big fan of chin-skritches.
Time, I think, to go get horizontal.
Everybody be well, and have a lovely weekend.
