Back from dinner with friends from out of town, had some lovely brisket & waffles, talked of the overwhelming monumentality of Gettysburg, played with cute baby who now enjoys gnawing on solid foods with a particular fondness for salty focaccia.

Fed & walked dogs.

Earlier spent some time reading a very under realized scifi novella titled either War on Venus or War of Venus depending on whether one chooses to believe the cover or the page headers. Generally both proofing & plotting quite slapdash. Gotta love Ace Doubles.

Going to settle into some more scotch & Dr. Who now. Comforts of home.
