Maria was pretty wiped out from her belly dancing performance on Saturday night, we managed to get to Jean’s for breakfast, then spread some more manure in the  Dahlia Garden, dig up some bulbs for the winter.

I got to rake the leaves out of our gutters, my favorite chore.

We were going to visit the Williams College Museum, but we both were pretty tired, Maria went to bed early. I had a long talk with my sister and am reading the new Archer Mayor mystery.

Tomorrow is a holiday here, but we both plan to work in the morning, and if the Museum is open tomorrow, we’ll go in the afternoon.

Next week, I teach another class in my Writing Workshop.

Got to get their ideas down. We have almost raised the $1,000 necessary to build a stage set for the new drama department’s first play (the first school play in 20 years).

We’ll be able to do it, I’m sure. I’ll make up any shortfall if there is one.

You can contribute via Paypal, [email protected] or by check, Jon Katz, Happy Hollandaise Play, P.O. Box 205, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.

Any overage, if there is one,  will go to the drama department for the next play stage set.
