Happy birthday!

This is my first post in this new space on the internet. Mostly by Knight * will be a sandbox and the place where I make all the mistakes (it’s cluttered up already, and has been through two (or three) incarnations over its two month history… and gathered only 311 visitors, most of them just clicks.

Pending right now:

  • To Jean Lauzier, material for next month’s tour - by April 21st.; best much earlier.
  • Get back to Writers village, ‘Grumps’ ‘Ravenne’ and Susan of the Sisu, specially.
  • Tales of Chestamovarado is way behind schedule: It was supposed to be set up for WVU/MFA four months ago.
  • The legal stuff, settling all the paperwork for this property and attachments, pfui
