At church yesterday there was a whole list of places in Mississippi and Louisiana accepting all sorts of donations for Katrina relief.  One church in Lafayette, LA requested books, so I sent a box this morning, consisting of lots of kids books and novels.  Hope the books will help take someone's mind off of things for a few hours.
Went to Costco for a number of household items, hoping to find Dylan's new Bootleg Vol. 7, to no avail.  
But I got a nice chunk of the third chapter of my YA novel done.  That felt good.  Also began revisions on a short story...hoping it will tell me how it wants to end.  Didn't happen this time.  Can't force these things.  
New double F&SF came today - cause for celebration!  Of course Cindy didn't quite see it that way...
