goodness abounds. yesterday, just as the pregnant clouds burst asunder to unleash the blue which had better mean autumn is finally here, i sat alone over the grass and ate a scrumptious meal. rosie and i played scrabble in our sun bonnets, and i did a lot of laundry. in the evening, after 'carmina,' i somehow got the drunkest i've been in months, off two drinks (soyhopper and gin'n'oj) and a speedy gave of triv-p. it was a good weekend for parties too: i wasn't at piel a piel for very long, but i had more fun at san rio than i have at a party in a long time (more than sager and possibly screw?). it'd been a while since i really got into the dancing. and everything's better when you're wearing a cape (especially one that glows in the blacklight.)

oh! and: it's been reported elsewhere, but i've neglected to mention that we have secured funding for worthstock! among other things, i'm annoyed at this trope that we "saved" the festival, as though it were in grave danger of not happening. of course it would never go down without a diligent, persevering organizer or two (it's so nice that there are two of us this time around), but given that there was never a serious possibility that it just wouldn't happen. i guess that was the rhetoric we partly used to present it. but the process isn't so mysterious. anyway, if it helps you get excited then that's great: you should be excited about this, any way you can.

first year i missed the crum regatta altogether; last year i was walking down as everyone else was walking up. this morning i at least saw a few of the boats finish, and best of all admiral warner giving prizes. next year, i promise, i will see the whole thing. well, i had my dappled moments in the sun, and now i must buckle down. lots and lots:
