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.

That's probably the worst kind of surprise. I don't mind surprises. It's when the author thinks she's clever, and has kept the big surprise until it's sprung on you, all the while building up to it with a taunting 'I've got a secret' attitude in the writing. When my reaction turns out to be, 'Yeah, I've known that since early in the book,' I find it to be an especially disappointing let down.
