Cheryl and Lissa getting silly at the Maine Festival. We're sitting in the beer garden, aka the penalty box. It's the only place at the festival where you can drink a beer. It's fenced in. You can't walk around with one in your hand. I dwell on this for the sake of New Orleanians for whom this is truly a foreign concept. In the beer garden you want to watch out for accordian players. They slip in one at a time, then suddenly you're sitting next to a table where a dozen accordians are playing some tune. It doesn't matter what tune it is because they all sound the same when played on accordians. Next week maybe I'll trash bagpipe music.
Sunset is a good time to go out and play with your camera. Here's the reading spot. Speaking of reading, this weekend I tore through Tess Gerritson's Life Support. Mysteries are neither good nor bad, you just can't put them down.

A full house on Saturday. Two sets of parents bringing freshmen to Unity college. The two students, a boy and a girl, met at breakfast, each wearing their favorite macrame. Toot suite.

Working extra hours this week trying to get the web-to-Oracle thing done. I actually compiled to an executable just before I left today, so there's hope.

Have a good week, everybody!

Way Last Week
