Life reboot:
Okay, I've been kinda focused on fiction recently, and now I get back to work on my real-life.
I can work on my house and get it entirely ship-shape and get back on schedule with my renos. I need to come up with a formula for WHEN I do major renos, and how I save for them. Shoudl I save up 50% and debt the rest, or should I save 60%, what?
I need to restart my (momdon'treadthis) not-smoking techniques, having fallen intentionally and spectacularly off the wagon this weekend
On a related note, I need to get my menu back under control at home, and get back into a stable routine there and get back into being a good cook, etc.
To come soon: A list of summer projects around the house!

Poor neglected blog
So my poor little corner of the intartubes is all neglected here, but that's largely as a result of being incrediblyu busy and having tucked my home computer away into the basement.
I've actually hit a period busier than anything I have ever experienced before. Work is frustratingly busy, in that I have a lot of meetings but no product to show for it.
Most pressingly on me at this point is a big theatre event next weekend for which I am missing a large quantity of my props, thanks to the cold cold spring inhibiting my ability to get outside and make them.
Once that is over, I need to put the brakes on everything and reset my domestic routine back to where it should be.

To clarify
Evolution.
Is not a religious position. You don't 'believe' in it anymore than you 'believe' in gravity.
On that note: You fucking idiots.

The second horseman
"When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!” Another came forth, a gray horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take health from the earth. There was given to him a great bottle-brush."
The second is Dirty. Now this is a pretty intuitive horseman, as he's more or less universally reviled. He is also very weak.
He lurks in darkness where he cannot be seen, as once he is discovered he is dispatched with energy and discipline (one of those I have!)
There are a number of useful tools against him. Chief among these is a professional cleaner. Go stimulate the economy and hire a cleaning lady. The other I've used a lot of is the micro-whatever cloths. They work especially well on mirrors and glass, where dirt shows up very easily.
This leaves only the last of the horsemen...

The Rebels!
I was helping prepare a fishing fleet for the spring harvest when I noticed a small group on the dock, watching me work. I recognized them as rebel from the Island. Wishing to be courteous, and knowing I was in no danger, I climbed to the dock to meet with them.
There was something wrong, perhaps they were inebriated, perhaps they were high.. I don't know. Possibly starving, or driven mad by some disease?
In any case, they began to scream at me and throw things at me!
"Thief, liar", they shouted, "how dare you steal from us! You eat meals while our islanders who you promised to feed go hungry! You live on a wonderful raft made by your own hands while our islanders live in squalid huts! When we banished you you promised to return with diamonds and riches to make our island bountiful and to repay what you owed us for years of providing you food and shelter!"
I reached into my pockets, to find what I could to give them in their state
They turned away from me at that, and walked away, shouting back
"You tend the Glade, you are one of us! We ask for nothing! Remember the promises you have made"
I wonder at their purpose...

Rafting
My poor little raft has shown the signs of being a residence for a little too long, and needs a clean-out, desperately.
As I have spent less time focused on making it seaworthy and being able to survive on it, it has become a little bit dilapidated. I need to spend some time on it and do some simple repairs.
The stormy season is coming, and I need to be sure I can put to sea even in the worst weather and find it sea-worthy
As for the island explorations, I'm finding that most islands, as soon as I go ashore and begin wandering about, begin assuming that I am a citizen. This upsets me, as I don't know yet where I want to settle, and one island in particular has pressured me to fly their flag on my raft, so that my citizenship is well-known.
