Am in Florida.
May. 14th, 2004 01:07 pmAll is relatively well. Grandma lost her wallet in the taxi on the way home from the airport but she got the cards in it mailed back; she's out $160 but she's all right with that.
Went to beach yesterday. Could not snorkel as too much sand in water. Waves v. rough. Swam anyway, though I took off fins as they made it hard to stand up. After getting knocked arse over teakettle and having ENTIRE ATLANTIC OCEAN try to cram itself up left nostril I got out of water for good. Found out upon arrival home that there is currently a DEADLY KILLER RIPTIDE going on off that coast, and I am not kidding. Five dead in past two days. Apparently ocean's last whack was its way of saying 'I like you, but you'd better get out before I do summat you won't like'.
Taking Grandma on glass-bottom boat ride today. Assuming of course that DEADLY KILLER RIPTIDE does not attempt to eat boat, there will be snorkeling - for me at least, Grandma not interested.
Have been writing up background for Scary Ninja Mountie, aka The Silver Corporal, one of Lester Dent's creations. You may remember Mr. Dent as the author of Doc Savage, the Man of Bronze. There are all of two Silver Corporal stories in existence, so I figure I can probably do quite a bit fanficwise with the fellow as long as it's plausible.
Have written several more paragraphs of Ira, aka "Rocketboy", but will type them up when I get home.
Am also working up scene involving John, Mad-Eye Moody, and inn-shattering kaboom. And on stuff w/Ghostbusters at the Ministry of Magic, don't worry.
More later as events warrant.
