Misc du jour

Ordered flowers for Mother for Mother's Day. Usual overwhelmingly competent service from City Line Florist ("Is your address still xxx?") Maybe I can get Mother to save the vase for re-use after, too, it's the pretty Monet one.

Finished Round 1 of the mundane-name crossreference project for the OP. On to Round 2. Round 3 or 4 will be tracking down Big Name Peers via their web citations, but we're not there yet, still finishing using in-house sources like old polldb and old newsletters.

Household+ sewing night is cancelled this week so that K can go to her PTO meeting. Maybe I'll finish the Asaro book early. Or maybe I'll clean the bathroom. Either would be useful.

I wouldn't really quibble with your characterization of the Skolian Empire books, except for the 'fails spectacularly' part. Yeah, they have an element of predictability, but then, I read Regency Romances, too, and they aren't noted for surprise endings.

I'm also a Regency fan. I don't mind formula when I know it's what I should expect, it's kind of a secure feeling.
