Today, I’m deep cleaning the house (hello, spider webs under the coffe table!) and making five different kids of cold side salads. There will be 26 relatives here tomorrow to celebrate my parents’ 50 anniversary. Everybody will be here all day, so I’m arranging two meals. It will all be fine, just lots of moving around today. It’s another 10 days until I have the kids in school full time. 10 days.

Here are some things that caught my eye:

Horrific child abuse case in England.

Boycott APSA because it falls on Labor Day.

The gay subculture at Fire Island.

I’m reading stuff today in between the cobweb cleaning, so I’m here.
