Regarding an email received first thing this AM.

I sent my family the link to bovil's pictures from Twelfth Night. This morning I receive the following email from my mother who really, REALLY ought to know better: Somehow I don't think a swelled head is going to be a problem.

"Amazing  pictures. You look great....did you make the costume ???  Congratulations !!"

Somehow I don't think a swelled head is going to be a problem.

Quiz show prize goes to Ishida-dono (the redhead in the green in the event pictures). He PM'ed me on the Tousando, having noticed my screen name change. "It pleases me greatly that you are using your newly-deserved title here." As well as a prize for making me feel like a total slacker for couch surfing with a post-event sore throat every night this week and only just getting to the laundry today. He banged THIS out this week.

A review of how much vacation time I have amassed indicates I can probably do An Tir/West War this 4th of July. He has been duly informed that we may make plans regarding dazzling An Tir with Japaneseness.

While I feel the Hilton ought to comp my room for me sweeping their patio, the mo came out of the dryer looking no worse for the wear, as did my nagabakama. White uchigi is in the delicate cycle all by itself. The hems were pretty vile.... looks good as new.
