Packing Stuff

I have packed up five boxes of manuscripts to go the SF archives at Northern Illinois and am now collecting books to send to my college reunion, which is going to do a display of books published by members of the class. The woman organizing this says most of the books are scholarly, though there's a fair amount of poetry. She figures science fiction will attract interest. I am not attending the reunion, due mostly to Wiscon, which is a week or so before. The idea of racing from one large gathering to another does not appeal.

I want to take more trips, but to quiet places, by myself or with Patrick. The Black Hills... The North Woods... My brother's house... The Walker Art Center to see the Hopper show...
