A day without rain...
May. 8th, 2012 10:05 pm...is a day with some sunlight. Maybe. Well, there was some today, by afternoon anyway.
Gary has to finish a take home exam by noon tomorrow and then he's free from school at least until fall. It will be good to have him back.
I note with regret the fact that Maurice Sendak has passed away. While most furries probably know him for Where the Wild Things Are, I will always remember him first for In the Night Kitchen, a lovely little dreamscape that set off a fury and if I remember correctly even got onto the ALA banned book list for a while. All because he drew a dream picture of a little boy with no pants on. Humans are just amazingly silly and stupid about things at times.
Finished Patricia Briggs' Cry Wolf and I recommend it to anyone interested in a good werewolf story. Neither the horrible blood and gore stuff of years ago, nor the mush of many romance novels that just use the werewolf legend as a backdrop, it's a believable story with characters well worth noticing. It's part of a trilogy, plus a prefatory novelette, and I see I'll have to read all of them.
It's late and that's most of what happened today other than the usual work, eat, sleep routines.
