I thought that I'd said that we need people to take the rooms near the
parties but John may have done so first.  We really do need them and,
having had only one offer, am going to start soliciting them.

I'd also strongly suggested that we do postcards as the final mailing but
didn't say that we were going to do so -- that sort of thing is Sam and
Michael's decision.

And thanks for putting in a more tactful version of my comments about our
new CSM!

"Elspeth said the SMOFS email list has a check-in area for people known to
be okay. Doctors have stopped trying to withdraw Elspeth's medication until
after Capclave. Her cats are doing well. She had a laptop computer for
anyone who helped her pack her boxes. She has to move since her apartment
complex is being converted to condos. This conversion has caused plaster
dust on everything, and occasionally shut off her water."

Sorry for not getting back to you; yes, I'd prefer that the comment about
medication not go into the Journal.  It was said to answer several people
who'd asked all at once (the answer being all at once, not the questions)
and to indicate that barring travel, fire, flood, famine or other such
things I shouldn't be missing WSFA meetings for at least a while.

I may have been unclear about a couple of things:

The computer is actually a desktop.  I need to put up some book shelves so
that I can get all the books stacked on the floor sorted out and, having
not used an electric drill in about 20 years, would like to swap the
computer for manual labor.

I'm not going to have to move until the end of May; my lease renewal was
the last lease signed.  The "packing" was over this past weekend because
they're redoing all the plumbing and I had to get everything out of the
closets, from under the sink, and from several other areas so the request
was a joke.  Not to worry: when it does come time to move I'll be asking
for help!

As an aside, fortunately the plaster was only once, although landing on my
head, and it's to be hoped that they'll stop shutting off the water once
the plumbing has been done.
