What gender is the Easter Bunny?
Okay. So I recognize that in the light of everything going on, this is a very trivial question, but it rocked my world today. I was trying to tell Rob this convoluted story about Norwescon and Easter. During the course of which, I said, “And I got to tell one of my favorite bad jokes.

The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death
Good heavens. Go check out The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. Dollhouses as crime scenes. We were just tipped off to a remarkable book, the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. It tells the story of Frances Glessner Lee (1878–1962), who was barred from attending medical school becuase she was a woman, but went on, nevertheless,

Holy Folding Lamp in a Book!
This Book Of Lights By Takeshi Ishiguro ought to be easy to pack. Right? Huh? It’s a justifiable expense, since we’re moving and all. Right? Right? It’s not like I want it just because it folds or anything.

Reading Aloud 15: Choices & Compromises while recording Rude Mechanicals
When Bill Schafer at Subterranean Press asked me to read Kage Baker’s Rude Mechanicals, I was delighted, because I love the Company stories. I was delighted until I started reading the manuscript and realized that the point of view character was male. I skimmed forward, just looking at dialogue. Most of the characters were male.

Happy Easter!
Have I mentioned that Chrissy and Spencer are the best hosts? Not only have they cooked breakfast every morning. I had an Easter basket this morning! Not only does it have dark chocolate in it, there’s also a fascinating book, Royal Scandals. I’m a happy, happy camper.
Rob’s Birthday
Today my husband is 42. He is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, at least for me. I will be spending the rest of today offline and with him.
9 and 10
We recorded Chapter 9 and 10 today, so my part of the process is over for the moment. Rob will edit it together, and then we’ll see if I need to do any pick-up lines.
Ming Oil & Vinegar set
I don’t need these. We don’t use oil and vinegar sets now, despite having received some as presents. And yet… I want this Oil & Vinegar set because it’s witty and graceful. How often can you say that about something designed to carry condiments?

Moving to NYC
Rob and I start the cross-country drive to NY on June 20th and plan to arrive on June 30th.
Home and Studio
As promised, Rob picked me up at the airport. We had dinner and then headed into the studio. We got Chapter 6 recorded and are now going home. Ah, sleep.
Back to Portland
I’m at the Chattanooga airport on my way back to Portland. I’ll get home at 6:00 tonight and head straight to the studio. Well, probably dinner and then studio.
Silver Linings
I had forgotten that one of my favorite cousins was getting married this weekend. I landed safely and on time, went by the house, showered and went to a wedding. (I had wanted to attend, but was afraid to make plans because of our ever fluctuating move date.) It was a lovely ceremony and they
