Yesterday and today

Yesterday the lily count was three, today it is seven.  I'm late reporting yesterday becasue we were out early on a book-flogging trip to the coast and thus the flowers weren't open yet.  We signed books and gave away copies of our custom rendition of a Carousel Tides chapbook to push Sharon's November release from Baen. Order today!

Yes, today is my birthday, and I thank you all here and elsewhere for snailmail cards and email and blog postings ... and no, I do not EVER open ecards, so please don't send any, or anymore if you already sent one of the one's that have been nuked by the filters already.

So we had several delicious meals yesterday, running the two days into one for many purposes, and today we'll hit the movies to see Sorcerer's Apprentice.  Around the edges of things I've been packing -- books, socks, manuscripts I've read for the writing workshop, and pieces fo electronic gear. I leave Monday for a leisurely drive...  Is anyone going to NASFIC who might be willing to help me figure out the video camera?

Anyhow, off to the day -- thanks for reading!

Happy Birthday! just celebrated mine on Wednesday.


Have a safe drive to NASFIC, hope you find a video camera operator - I'll be at a different convention in Richmond.... so sorry I can't help.

Birthday, and such

Happy Birthday (about 19 minutes late!), Steve! I'm glad it was a good one.

I'd be interested in your opinion of The Sorcerer's Apprentice. I saw it and loved it, but the critics seemed to not like it at all. What did you think?

I think many of the critics get paid to be critical....but consider I really enjoy Earth Girls are Easy, Galaxy Quest, Ice Pirates ... I do not go to the movies for deep analysis of the failures of the American Way of Life, as part of a search for the Great All Soul, or to understand the important subtexts of the language of cinema. I hated the 20 or 25 minutes of Kill Bill I sat through. So there. Glad you enjoyed it, too!
