Belated happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers reading this! I'm always impressed by y'all.<\/p>\n

And, more generally, yay for mothers!<\/p>\n

I wasn't sure whether this was going to be a mopey Mother's Day for me or not. As it happened, there wasn't much time for moping; the day went by in a rush, between talking with Mary Anne, reading submissions, and having dinner with some old friends (including the two people I've known longest other than my family: I met Bruce and Sarah in 7th grade, and am pleased that we've managed to stay in touch, at least intermittently).<\/p>\n

And now it's Monday the 15th. Which on the one hand is cause for celebration, being the birthday of both Sally C. and L. Frank Baum. Yay!<\/p>\n

And on the other hand is cause for a certain amount of sadness, as it would've been Alex W<\/a>'s 38th birthday.<\/p>\n

I see it's been two years since I last worked on those pages. Maybe I'll see if I can find some time today to continue with that project.<\/p>\n

The other main thing I'll be doing today (after sleeping) is writing fiction; specifically, hoping to continue making progress on what I've been calling \"the Folkdance story,\" which features (among others) a character partly (and loosely) derived from various aspects of Alex's life.<\/p>\n

But first, sleep.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
