LJ tells me it has been 11 weeks since my last posting.  To be fair, you know how things are when I'm working! And I just started my summer break, this past Monday. After the teachers left, I attended a primary sources workshop at the Library of Congress.  I got to go down into the bowels of the LOC and look at George Washington's farm journals. I'

Yep, we're still on for September - probably between the 10th and the 14th. We're going to have a car, so either you can come 'up' to DC or we can take a day and drive down to your house.

Actually, I was wondering if you were interested in having coffee with Pamela - I don't know what terms you are on with her, but she and I got along fine when we met in Antwerp in (whatever year it was).

You're not the only one with the older-slash idea - one advantage about writing in the Holmes/Watson fandom is that it is canon that the two of them knew each other until quite late in their lives, and there is a definite sub-genre of "old guys" slash. :D A friend of mine has done some lovely pictures of them as definitely senior citizens, yet still in a caring and physically affectinate relationship.

I've been somewhat up and down in my own mental state lately - after three years of study into Asperger's Syndrome I have finally confirmed that I not only passed it on to James, but have it in a mild-to-moderate degree myself. This explains a truly remarkable number of things about what's always gone on inside my head, which in some ways is good news, but it's forced me to rearrange how I see myself, so I've been very turned inwards.

In better news, Sara has been admitted to *the* premier girls' high school in the state (entry via competitive examination only) and we're immensely proud of her. *giggle* She and I made them a tapestry over the summer to celebrate. It's the first time I've ever shared a canvas with anyone. She's done a couple of small pieces before, so I knew she was up to standard. Again, it's very much a unique work - that's the school crest in the centre panel.

Sorry about the delay. My baby sister has had some pain in her breasts and since cancer runs in the family, we had to take action. I've been up in NYC/Jersey City the past few days, and will be back up there the week after next.

At this time, there isn't a problem--Howevver, I've made a committment to some teacher related workshops (TBA). If that interferes, I *have to attend*. Hopefully, I won't have those until October!
