Feeling more cheerful today, even if I *was* being sick about an hour ago... Current indications are that I had (past tense) a headache and was being sick because I had a mild dose of sunstroke, and I had a mild dose of sunstroke because I spent the day on top of Mt Tam watching the Mountain Play, which this year was Fiddler on the Roof. And a most excellent production it was too, with a fine cast. We had a superb picnic lunch beforehand, and the only flaw in my day was the incredible heat, resulting in the aforementioned sunstroke.

Also got home to an email saying that friend's husband was improving, if slowly, and is essentially out of the woods. And started the day with reading Charlie's bouncing about winning the Locus award for Accelerando. I *know* that what I write is not going to be winning sf awards anytime soon, which has the interesting side-effect of being able to get an enormous kick out of the success of friends without feeling that little twitch of envy. And I got a particularly nice piece of fan mail for First Footer, which I will answer tomorrow when I'm feeling a bit more with it.
