Sweating caffeine

I found Jon's letter where he said he'd leave it, but Lenny's is not with it. Lenny is in Athens. He might have given it to Jon... who is in Las Vegas. Application deadline is tomorrow.

Thank god for email and fax machines and cellular phones. But until I hear back from Lenny I have goblins in my tummy. Bad

At least the essay rewrite is going pretty well. There's a place in the UKlG novel I'm now reading where we're told the hero spends five days writing a one-page letter, getting all the political twists worded just right. I know how that works.

book?

"The Telling", Ursula K. le Guin, 2000. (Actually the 'L' might be capitalized now that I think of it...) It's classic [lL]e Guin, social commentary with just enough sci-fi trappings to let her take the world as we know it, and tweak a few knobs to set things up just right, before throwing her characters into it. More when I get done with it.
