imtboo comes back from France tomorrow. 26 hours and counting.

Gibbous is a neat word. Did you know it has a botanical meaning?

I also like glume and bract and rachilla. Who knew these were real words? They sound like Scrabble bluffs.

Attention spans are nice to have. And you don't know what you got 'til it's gone.

Reading List
finished: The Dramaturges of Yan, by John Brunner
(re-)reading: The Dark is Rising, by Susan Cooper

The Dark is rising is great - I wish I could get hold of a copy here so I sould re-read it too.

OK, I knew bract, but not glume or rachilla. Cool words! And now I know another reason you always beat me at Scrabble!

The Dark is Rising was on my every-summer list for the entire decade of my 20s. Rereading Pratchett has taken over the space but that would be a good thing to revisit-- especially during the Christmas season.

OK, OK, so I suppose she's back? Hope so! And you are well and enjoying life? Give us an update!!!

Missing you in Atlanta!
