amgreene (Andrew Marc Greene):

  When Lucy was little she and her mother and Dancy would sometimes sing
  hymns together in harmony --- something I have never been able to do
  with anybody.  It is a sweet mystery to me: voices harmonizing
  together, merging and twining around one another, changing places back
  and forth, now one ascendant, now the other, like the `g' and the `n'
  in `mignon.'

  - Roy Blount, Jr.
    _First_Hubby_

henry (Henry Mensch):


this month brings us some tombstone humor; today's theme is "light":

       Blown Upward
       Out of Sight,
       He Sought the Leak
       By Candlelight.

       In Memory of
       Ellen Shannon
       Who was fatally burned by
       the explosion of a lamp filled with
       Danforth's Non-Explosive Fluid.

no light here:

       Beneath this stone and not above it
       Lie the remains of Anna Lovett;
       But please, dear reader, not to shove it,
       Lest she should come again above it.
       For `twixt you and I, no one does covet
       To see again this Anna Lovett.

Planned absences:

	maybe singapore and hong kong (13 july -> 30 july)???

---------------------------------

Plans for this month:

 D	organising the PANSS tape (and thinking about off-site support)
 *		(now, thinking about version two ... )
 !	treatment of athena network services as layers upon vendor os.
 *	finding and retaining a man who can pass the "breakfast" test
 *	shoveling out my apartment
 *	considering moving the rest of my furniture (and books,
		and tapes, etc.) back into my apartment.

legend: * = "in progress"
	+ = "in 'bureaucratic-wait' state"
	! = "a future problem," in proposal stage
	D = "done"
