Random stuff
Aug. 21st, 2004 10:18 pmStopped by a couple of yard sales this morning -- grand total of three books and a gorgeous shawl. Then I tried to register the books on BookCrossing using pre-numbered labels. Oy, what a mess! Got the "oh bother" page, and the books ended up registered, but with no registrar's name. They don't show up on my bookshelf or by doing a book search, but I can find them entering the BCID. I've e-mailed support, but I doubt I'll get any help from them. I've thrown out my few remaining pre-numbered labels and will never use them again.
Went over to Carifete, had some jerk chicken and a coconut/pineapple/strawberry smoothie. Yum! Lots of vendors selling lots of counterfeit handbags, and a variety of jewelry and clothng, usual street fair stuff. The parade was late starting (someone said they must be on island time) so unfortunately I missed most of it as I had to head north.
I had a nice dinner with three of the XYZingers. Two on our "injured" list slowly recuperating. Fran is back at work after back surgery, though on shorter hours for the moment. And Caroline is looking surprisingly good after landing in the Emergency Room and then ICU and having emergency surgery for bleeding in her stomach (NOT related to the bypass -- it was too much Aleve). But they are both well enough to go to Peggy's wedding, and C. will still be able to do the food. P.'s asked me to be a greeter at the church, so of course I said "yes".
P. gave me a late birthday present, a book on making shoji screens! Not that she or I expect that I'll do that, but if I ever get around to having that closet built, I can point and say "that's what I want".
I got a call from the Rosemonts at Charles Kerr Publishing. The Labadie Collection needs a letter from me to okay the display of the Engdahl correspondence (that we donated after mother died) and allowing access by scholars. I seem to be Louis' "literary executor" by default. Penelope seems to think they may put the letters on-line as well, which would be very cool.
