Eagles Realm has finally revised their web site for the Great Plains Renaissance Festival which is to be held April 19 and 20th. Claudia is coming down that weekend, so I may have to lay aside my weekend plans to drag her to the fest. I think she might be happy to go as I was planning on her help with cleaning closets. Of course, if it is raining that Saturday, we will have to do the closets anyway.
It's raining today pretty heavily. Bubbles is like a cat in that he's not convinced that it rains both in the front and the back simultaneously. He wants to do the right thing, so he did go outside first thing. Once outside, he immediately turned and put his paws up on the patio door glass and barked a couple of pitiful woofs. "OK", I said, "but you'll have to use the pee-pads and not chew them up." He didn't even let me wipe his paws, but made a bee-line for the front door. I put him in the hallway with his pee-pads and went off to make breakfast. He did his business where he ought and sat, sulking, in the corner until I came to let him loose.
Our quote for the day is from Angela Carter (1940–1992), British author. “Polemical Preface,” The Sadeian Woman (1979):
Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of
these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real
conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.
