Would you turn me away if the walls were all I could see in your face?
I do somewhat resent that the first time I remember my dreams in weeks, they are nightmares about attending a convention, having to fight off a serial killer, and then contracting some kind of life-threatening alien infection, which is definitely way too high a ratio of pulp to anxiety if you ask me.
On the other hand, I spent much of the afternoon being interviewed by a grad student for her master's thesis in folklore: she is studying the music of Jewish partisans in WWII and the creation of liminal spaces through song and I felt like a one hundred and ten percent ringer and I had a wonderful time.
The recording I made for Jeannelle M. Ferreira can now be found with author's notes on her blog: "October Ghosts and Minor Resurrections: An Audio Excerpt."
The world continues fractured and frightening, but people build fires, and within the circle of the light, even if only for a little while, things may be all right.

(Kiddo asked, because of the recording/retelling, when I was going to write a book with Aunt Sovay. Cue Awkward Askhenazi Brows as I realized neither adult in the equation really skims lower than PG-13, whether for bog bodies, adult interactions, or adult interactions with bog bodies. Which is not to say we limit Kiddo's books, but they are 10.5.)
So the good news is, it'll take us at least a couple of years to finish the thing. And then we can embarrass your child!
Also for the fact that I would like to do this even though some people do not speak sensible Litvish and use strange slippery consonances and well, we will have to bring an outside editor on for transliterated orthography.
