Looks like all the chiefs are out of the office this afternoon and I'm not too busy. Don't tell, but I might have some extra reading time 

At home with a good book and the cat...

Best thing this weekend was the California Coast Renaissance Festival -- lovely weather, good friends who drove up to meet us for their first renfaire, and because we paid the 'gate' (meaning Jay and I weren't there as actors, so we had no obligations whatever) we did exactly as we pleased -- which means we used normal English, instead of 'basic faire accent' -- an odd way of speaking which is not much like real 16th-century English as read in Shakspeare or the King James Bible, for instance.
Best thing tonight is our own bed.
