Love is a garden of thorns and a crow in the corn and the brake growing wild

Rabbit, rabbit! Happy May Day! A pre-school class out on a walk with their teachers just went by happily shrieking under my window. I am actually a little surprised that the real-life equivalent of the Studio Ghibli Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet I dreamed about watching last night doesn't exist.

It's springtime so my anxiety is at twelve and a half about my citations in my first book.

YOUR FIRST BOOK WAS GOOD AND A BLESSING TO THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD.

But it is a nice day and it may as well be a nice month!

I went walking and took some pictures! It looks nice to me!

I'm not worried about the content of the book; I'm worried the collection numbers have changed now that the collections are all catalogued online. I'm worried that in the age of the internet, one no longer cites privately held documents. They're going to be privately held until my grandmother, keyn ayin hora, shrugs off. She has shown no signs. She is ninety and change.

Okay, I can't help you there. Ask an archivist on Twitter? skygiants?

Hi, B!
I am really just keen on pondering irrational things today. It will all work out. N says so.

Hello! Although I am not a paper archivist, I agree with N that things are very likely to work out; I cannot imagine an archive jettisoning its legacy catalog identifiers even if they also have new digital record identifiers. Also, I have heard absolutely no stirrings of the demise of privately held documents as a legitimate citation source. I think you're good!
