Many things to get done by tomorrow to make editors happy, make bosses happy, and maybe get a bit of the long weekend for myself.

Three things to share with you all:

1. Still raining!

2. In all the busyness I completely forgot to plug the PA Endless Mountains Fiber Festival next weekend (!!!), Sept 6-7 in Harford, PA. It was quite nice last year. I don’t know yet if I’ll be able to go (see above, extreme busyness), but a few comments from other string people that they’ll be there might help persuade me. (Thanks, Grace, for reminding me!)

3. More haunted garden stuff:

The garden is not haunted.
Leaves rustle only from the cool night breeze.
Those flowers bloom at night for moths, not pixies.
No gnome lives in the hollow tree.
A row of garlic keeps the nonexistent vampires at bay.
Those glowing eyes definitely do not belong to a zombie.
I will go in to bed now, the bed without the monster underneath.

    “I will go in to bed now, the bed without the monster underneath.”

    That’s because your monsters sleep on TOP of the bed.

    Your monsters may be responsible for some of the glowing eyes, too.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
