It's good to hear from you! :) It looks like I'll have weekends free for at least a few weeks - any chance you'll have time for lunch or dinner one day soon? It's literally been years, and that's just not on.

I would love to see you!!

The J's are coming down next weekend on Saturday to hang out. Are you free? I'm running 20 miles that day so it's going to be all about eating and watching TV.

Hi! Good to know you're okay. Sorry about the tech week of woe.

meri_oddities July 29 2012, 15:01:51 UTC

Hey, how are you doing? Yeah, the week of tech woe, was a pain. All is good now. Hope it is with you, too.

It's going. Still trying to settle my father's estate thanks to the fact that everyone named in the will aside from me has buggered off. So fun times in the lawyers office is happening here, a lot. I'll just be very glad when it's over and I can start to move on.

I know how hard that is. I'm sorry you're having to deal with all that, on top of everything else.

Hopefully, the lawyer can do what needs to be done. Ours was pretty good, but it still took forever.

Meri, really loved what you did with War Prize - an utterly different take on the subject, very, very interestig in your eyes. I'm so glad you manged to write it - thank you!

- and good luck with work!

Thanks. I'm glad you liked the story. I've been writing it on and off for years. I like playing with culture clash in stories, and this was sort of the ultimate one.

Work looks like it's going to be much better than I thought in the beginning.

We're rolling in the tomatoes and other veggies here. Wish you were around to help me eat all this chard.

More summer school, more book production work, and we're going on vacation next weekend for ten days. Not much new, in other words.

Every time I think I couldn't get more obsessed with Sherlock, I am proven wrong, however.

meri_oddities July 29 2012, 16:28:58 UTC

Bring me some of the Chard in Sept -- and anything else you want to get rid of.

Where are you going on Vacation? The beach?

Heh. I envy you your love. I wish I had a fandom I loved that much. I like Sherlock and Avengers, but nothing is making me fall in love. I have some hope the new Trek movie next year will be it.
