8842 - sunday

Mother’s Day went well – Called my mom up and went out to breakfast with BHK, LB and CB for blueberry pancakes. Amongst things discussed was the Gaia hypothesis, which I adore. I like the fact that LB is so pragmatic about the earth continuing on, despite her ailments.

After, we went home and read on the shady part of the porch while we drank sun tea. That was probably my favorite part of the weekend. I suspect that was the only alone-time BHK and I had together all weekend long. The book I started was L. Sprague de Camp’s Tales from Gavagan's Bar. After that brief solitude, We went back to the in-laws for a little cookout with them and TM. The spread was quite plentiful – Grilled hot dogs (meaty and veggie) with all kinds of fixings – chili, slaw, kraut, dill pickles, deviled eggs, teriyaki green beans, cake from the bake sale on Saturday (tasty yellow with chocolate icing), and who knows what else. Plenty of leftovers for Monday and Tuesday’s lunches!

JD’s b’day party this weekend – going to try to go if I can, sounds like a great time – 2 bands, lots of people looking to have some fun.

L. Sprague de Camp’s Tales from Gavagan's Bar
= one of my all time favorites :)

Keen! I'd never seen it before!

Also excellent, in very much the same vein, is Arthur C. Clarke's Tales from the White Hart.

And some "also rans" - If you like a more "hippie subculture" milieu, see Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon and Time Travellers Strictly Cash; or for a similar story+message approach, but not set in a bar, Mike Resnik's Tales of the Galactic Midway.

I'd read the callahan's and white hart ones before, and enjoyed both very much! I'll check out midway!

Sun tea and clematis, two items with about a thousand memories attached. Your last two posts echo.

I hope they're a thousand good memories!
