I’m melting

The weather sites had been projecting a high temperature of 98F for Napa this weekend. Now they’re saying, “Ha, ha; fooled you. It was actually 106F.” Not quite as bad as last year’s A&S Tournament, since we had a fair amount of tree-shade and a slight breeze this time, but given that this is my favorite event of the year, I wish the elements wouldn’t conspire to make it such an ordeal. It’s hardly the fault of the organizers that we got a heat wave on this particular weekend. A number of people decided not to come. Others bugged out on Saturday. Most everyone left on Sunday got up before dawn to break camp – some stayed after that for classes, others just kept going. Despite it all, it was a rather fun event. thread_walker invited me to camp with Villa Luna who were doing a “leave the husbands and kids behind” camp and … well, the watchword of the weekend was “what happens at A&S stays at A&S”, but if you might get some interesting stories from the tavern wenches at the Sword & Lily Inn. But, alas, they all heat-wimped out early Sunday morning. I stayed to attend classes and then ended up pitching in to help take down and pack up the tavern.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love living in the fog-belt? No fog currently, but there’s a cool breeze blowing through the windows.

My mom got the results of her bone marrow test the end of last week – pretty much as expected, she has the “multiple” version of myeloma. (There’s a reason why that word is in the default name.) So now they’re powering ahead with the various treatments.

In regards to your mother, which means what? What sorts of treatment?
