( raw notes )
Time flies when you're having fun. Or working hard, as the case may be. It's likely to be a long year.
I did get a walk in on Monday, down to the falafel/sandwitch/pizza joint, Vivi's, that I remember from 30 or so years ago at Zilog. Had a hummus/falafel combo plate, with potato chips instead of pita.
Some links under the cut; I think the most useful and interesting
-- for filkers, anyway -- is sweetmusic_27's Musings on Accompaniment.
