I don't know what to wear

botiasWhat does one wear to a sea kayaking class that takes place at a community pool? I think I will bring a swimsuit, but I have no wetsuit or other gear. 11YO thinks they may provide gear. Cross your fingers for us. I was feeling so adventurous when I signed up.
The light is radiating from the end of the tunnel. I volunteered to edit a book and then have it bound. This is worse than betaing badfic in some ways and better in others. This is technically work I would enjoy, but the job turned out to be so big (about 400 pages if it were a trade paperback) and the deadline so tight that it's eaten up three full days of my time. If I were independently wealthy and had no children, hobbies, pets or relationships then I could have had a grand time immersing myself in the project. Or if I were being paid, that would have helped a lot I confess. Still, it's a worthy project and fascinating topic if you're interested in women's suffrage and grassroots political activism.
History really is written by thevictors historians though. I exercised my editorial privilege on this bit that was listed among the very, very important events occurring in that time period.
"A new member and future president Vicky Ego-Much is mentioned for the first time in the newsletter."
(Name changed to protect the self-interested, who also happened to co-author the book.)
If anyone calls me on it I'll just say that it wasn't fair to all the other presidents whose first appearance in the annals was somehow overlooked. I just about keeled over when it read it, but I'm easily overset.
