ALL IN THE TIMING

Missives from home tell me that Kell’s hunting woes were a temporary thing (as I’d suspected) and that she got her timing back in short order. It will still be interesting to see how she and Desdemona get along as partners, being mothers-in-law and all. Come to think of it, Fenton and I should probably be concerned. Hunting involves lots of sitting around waiting for prey to come along, so that copious downtime will likely be filled with conversation about us.
Shudder
Thanks to all the readers last week who offered decorating suggestions! First, both Fenton and I do have separate offices within Tree that neither of us touch. Fenton’s is essentially his “bat cave” as someone pointed out. Someone else offered a Steampunk idea, but as much as I like “Girl Genius” that’s not really my style.
About my reference last week to 40-minute showers, yes, a 40-minute bath would be just as effective and would save water. Tree will also be aware of 40-minute intervals between when the faucet stops running and the water is let out.
It’s quiet here at Beige University. The summer classes have ended, and the fall semester (which includes my first Masters degree courses) begins in four weeks. Since this is a “university town” with little here besides the school, one can easily imagine tumbleweeds blowing down the streets. That’s fine; it’s given Fenton and I space to acclimate ourselves to our new life before a whirlwind of activity descends upon us.
Today's question for those of you in school: How are you spending your summer?
