A4 Not sure -- I've finally gotten to the point where my body will sleep later and I have to get up early again! Those early sunrises from early May to the end of July really get you going.
But there's coffee. There's always coffee.

A3 I have a story that will be reprinted in MetaStellar on 9/7 (they're on bsky)
And last weekend, the extended family sliced, cooked, and jarred tomatoes. Well, we jarred tomato sauce. 8 bushels.
It was a day, which ended in a meal

A2 Just figuring the best use of the time remaining while preparing at least something for next week. (I don't see students until Thursday and possibly even later for some.)
While deciding what's next, I've updated a couple of blogs

Time between “Thank you for your submission” and “This isn’t for us” was three hours and thirty three minutes, a new personal record.

A3 Brought my 13 yo nephew to a retro arcade in Asbury Park
I thought I’d get him with Mario and Donkey Kong, but he really got into pinball. Dozens of machines from the 70s to the 90s

The Constable and the Clairvoyant, what a combination. But in a tough patch Cobham and Kassandra make one heck of a duo. Read Spirit Seeker by Jeff Young. buff.ly/pHZ7MH2 @jyscifiguy.bsky.social #paranormal #steampunk @dackleymcphail.bsky.social

The Pittsburgh convention was kinda meh.
