Gratitude: XX
Jul. 21st, 2011 08:45 amWe're in the midst of a heat wave. A sticky, hot, solid wall of air is pounding against every door and window, and the only things keeping it at bay are the insulation of our brick walls and our central a/c. Our basement is much cooler than the upstairs, and we spend a good chunk of the day down there. I've been working on some SCA illumination*, watching stuff like Top Gear and Spy Kids with Linc, and reading The Devil in the White City** down there.
Hooray for A/C!
*The award scrolls given out at every event are hand painted and lettered by volunteers... I'm still early in my scribal career but love it! Several members had housefires recently, so there's a bit of a rush to get replacement scrolls done before the big annual gathering, and they're even using inexperienced little ol' me to get them done.
**A terrific account of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, and the concurrent story of a mass murderer... a true story.
