In spite of it all, we have Mudcat events going on this weekend in Belgium and Pennsylvania (can you believe it?), spontaneously generated; with more to come over the summer. We have house movers, house savers, obits, reports on friends in trouble, friends doing good things, people coming and going, swift answers to obscure requests, and who knows what all. A tip of the hat to the generous of spirit this weekend, here on Mudcat, generator of generosity.

yours, Peter T.
