Purgatory is open today

My poem "Cemetery Theater" has been accepted by Not One of Us. It is based on a dream I had three nights ago, of Death and late-night stage sets.

There have been some minor changes to my Readercon schedule, which I will note later. I am on the second day of epic housecleaning. I was going to write that you cannot possibly imagine how much I loathe it, but you probably can, if you are the owner of a summer kitchen who has just discovered that mice have been living in their stove.

I'm delighted by the acceptance. I'm very sorry to hear about the mice. Living in the stove sounds particularly awful--I know we had some that took shelter in the drawer beneath the stove, but I don't _think_ they'd taken up fulltime residence. Good luck with the lot.

I'm intrigued that you have a summer kitchen--are they common in your part of the world? I've always thought of them as a Southern thing.
