Demoralizing but fun

The exciting news is this.

Yes, a cell phone. Be still my heart. It is still being domesticated. We are trying to be gentle with her as she joins the modern era of communication. Her previous cell phone, if it can be called that, was essentially rocks and string. Texting is beginning to grow on her.

Today was the fun part. I'm the volunteer photographer for my local community association, and today was my first gig. They put on a concert, with Two Late for the Party opening for Bebo Grove. They're both on Facebook if you want to look there. Lots of people showed up and it seems a good time was had by all.

Novel progress is continuing. A trip to Costa Rica for research is desirable. I should have gone in January. There is even progress on the bike!
