    "Say I can come in, Daphne!" repeated the cartoon voice from the television. "The mountains are burning!"
    "Why shouldn't she let him in?" Daphne asked the the figure in the doorway. She turned back to the television and by the gleam of her teeth Marrity knew that she had opened her mouth.
    "No, Daph," said Marrity loudly. He was suddenly sure that it had not been the late hour that had made Grammar forbid then to watch this show; and, irrationally, he suspected now that it had not appeared on any TV set except for Grammar's.

I'm gonna steal this meme. I always like to know what people are reading right now.

Hey, I just saw that you and Ron are leading a workshop at the Out & Equal conference. I saw this because at the first day of my new job for Out & Equal I was editing the workshop descriptions for the program. What to do in communities that aren't friendly... great topic!

thanks! we still need to get O&E some pictures! I didn't get approval at work until like a week ago to even go...

Well, it seems likely that I'll be seeing you there. Although what I'm doing now is technically freelance editing work, there's a possible full-time position I might get offered before the conference.

Ain't it a small world? I went to O&E last year; it was great!
