Flaky site today, but I think it’s better now. The host added some new thing to the servers today and it goofed me up, but hopefully it won’t be goofy anymore. Sooooo smoky here. I’m glad we’re not in Fairbanks, where it must be ten zillion times worse. It’s really nice out, about 70 degrees, but if it weren’t smoky I’m afraid it’d be much, much hotter.

nice weekend!
So we went up to Fairbanks to visit Ted’s parents this weekend, which was very nice indeed. We went to the fair and bought a great deal of pottery (I now have CANISTERS! They’re lovely!

SF reading meme, gacked from Peg Kerr, behind the cut tag. I’ve read about a quarter of the list (typical, for me doing these things). There are another 15-25 that I’d like to read. Many of those are ones I in fact *intend* to read, but don’t yet own. And then there’s some like Alice in Wonderland. How can I have not read Alice in Wonderland?
