incandescensThe weather was quite reasonable today. That is, it wasn't raining, and there were intervals of clear sky, if very few of actual sunshine. The tributary (to the river Aire) next to the road that I walk along to get to work had mostly gone down again, and bare paving was showing on either side of the central ditch.
One of my coworkers went to Paris over the weekend. I am very jealous. I will just have to go to America or something to console myself.
This time two weeks, where will I be? Staying up all night packing. Whee!

"I come from an honest family of foxes. They were none too pleased about my forays into acts of transformation. When they found out about the scholars I visited on dark nights, haunting them in the forms of various women, they were appalled. They love me too much to disown me for a trait that has run in the family for generations, although it is seldom openly discussed. They said, 'Don't you know your actions reflect on us all? If you keep making these visitations, other fox families will talk about us. They will criticize us for not having raised you properly. It would be better if you chose a more respectable occupation, like fishing or stealing chickens.'"
