Thoughts for a Friday the 13th
Five things make a post....
1. The plumber was here. The incident that prompted the call -- the cold-water handle on the bathtub faucet was broken -- was an easy fix. The other thing we've been putting off for years -- the replacement of the kitchen faucet -- took a bit longer. Still, the bill came to "only" $226.
2. Washington Nationals fandom is getting to be a lot like Boston Red Sox fandom: hope followed by heartbreak.
3. Today is "Women Boycott Twitter" day. Not that I use Twitter a whole lot....
4. This weekend I won't be going to Harvest Wars because I had been planning to go away last weekend, and now I need to focus on working on my next feature article due at the end of the month. That article is also why I wasn't planning to go to War of the Wings this year. Hey, at least I went to Pennsic, and my home barony is hosting Fall Crown Tourney just about 10 minutes' drive from my house.
5. Speaking of that feature article, I had a couple of good interviews with sources this week (one just ended). I also did a few other adulting things, such as getting a free flu shot at the county clinic, and some fun things, such as seeing Wolgemut last night at the New Deal Cafe. Actually, this time around the four gentlemen currently making up the band played the longest "soft band" set I've ever heard them play (as opposed to the "loud band," which relies on bagpipes and a rauschpfeife.
