Visited my sister and went antiquing and fleamarketing. No great finds but fun, even though it rained a lot on Saturday. Have been psychologically preparing for two week cruise up the Danube with my family next week. Got the plane tix and confirmed flights. I fly from JFK to Milan to Budapest, we take a boat up the river, stop in Serbia and Croatia and Bulgaria and end up in Bucharest, where we stop for a few days. I'm missing next month's KGB reading because of the trip unfortunately. Trying to figure out what to pack-I need to start wearing my cowboy boots and closed shoes so I can walk in them during the trip. I've been wearing sandals all summer.

Lost my glasses and found them (thought I'd packed them for visit to sis, couldn't find them when I get there nor when I got home then searched bag assiduously one more time and there they were in a never-before-used compartment.

Found the Nikon instructions manual--in a pile of books but not the pile it had been in.

And currently going through the copy edit of After, stetting things and querying the contributors with other copy editing changes that I either agree with or that are more serious. Whenever I go over a copy edit I discover how much I missed in my line edit and get annoyed with myself. It means that I wasn't focused, not paying enough attention to each ms.

Need to send out a couple of cartons of books Thursday via UPS pick up. Pull down some of the piles of books currently living on my sofa and either sort them or read them. (they're mostly anthologies with a few collections/magazines thrown in for variety.) And of course those are only on my sofa-I should take photos of the piles of "to read" material for Best Horror one of these days.

Anyway, that's where I've been. Back to work before hitting the sack.
