Funk Babblings

Sunday night we returned from PSG, very hot (it was 105 in the shade much of the week) and tired. I'm better now. At one point I had stories, but I don't remember them now. Except that Margot Adler is really cool.

Now I'm watching it rain and trying to remember the last time I saw that particular weather phenomenon.

Saturday evening we returned from Pennsic, and I'm almost caught up with life again.

Well, we returned from Pagan Spirit Gathering Sunday night around 8pm. I had to miss Comfest for PSG this year, but I think I made up for it by making it a very musical PSG.

Before we left we were somewhat apprehensive about going, for various reasons. One of those was that last year when we returned from a very wet PSG we found three inches of water in the basement, due to a broken pipe. This year the worst that we found was that ants had discovered a cookie we'd accidentally left on the counter. (Luckily it was in a container that somewhat impeded their access to it.)

One notable aspect of this PSG was making the 11:00 news on Cleveland's notorious channel 19. They tried to get in both through the gate and through the woods, then buzzed the morning meeting with a helicopter. How a private event in the woods of southern Ohio is considered news in Cleveland is beyond me.

Anyway, this PSG was really good for me. I feel quite refreshed.

Now we're going out of town again this weekend (to Columbus). So I guess we'd better get unpacked soon so we can re-pack.
