[17:27] <KK> Sorry I wasn't here last week. We went for "drinks" at
friends' house, and stayed for dinner, and stayed to chat after....
Got home around 2 AM!
[17:28] <RainbowDragon> chats with good friends is time well spent
though
[17:28] <the_Bee> "home" still Holybrooke?
[17:28] <KK> Been ok. Have just finished reviewing the copy edited
manuscript of Childe Morgan.
[17:28] <RainbowDragon> How is the new computer doing, KK?
[17:28] <KK> Yep, still here. Wednesday is the big day.
[17:28] <KK> New computer is fine.
[17:29] <Wrengl> moving day already!?

[17:31] <DeryniBot> Hi there slobbit! Welcome to the chat.
[17:31] <Wrengl> what are you auctioning?
[17:31] <RainbowDragon> hi slobbit
[17:31] <the_Bee> hi slobbit
[17:31] <Wrengl> I missed your last visit here, not feeling well
[17:31] <KK> The house.
[17:31] <Wrengl> hi slobbit
[17:31] <slobbit> hi folks, RainbowDragon & the_Bee
[17:31] <slobbit> and kk
[17:31] <jemler> hi slobbit
[17:31] <Mistyck> hiyas Beth
[17:31] <Wrengl> ah
[17:31] <KK> Pat, feeling better now?
[17:32] <Wrengl> so you decided to auction it?
[17:32] <Wrengl> actually not really
[17:32] <KK> Yep, that was the decision from the beginning.
[17:32] <Wrengl> i have not rebounded from the last chemo session as i
had been
[17:32] <KK> bummer!
[17:32] <Mistyck> hi Katherine!
[17:32] <Wrengl> little energy although heat and humidity could
contribute to that
[17:32] <the_Bee> hope you get a good price, esp. after all the work
you put into it
[17:32] <Wrengl> but I will be well this week and next
[17:33] <KK> I understand there's record heat in most of the US this
weekend.
[17:33] <Wrengl> i am volunteering for the visit of the Godspeed to New
York
[17:33] <KK> The Godspeed?
[17:33] <Wrengl> it is a reproduction of one of the ships that brought
the first colonists to Jamestown
[17:33] <KK> cool!
[17:33] <Wrengl> a sailing reproduction
[17:33] <KK> Double cool!
[17:33] <Wrengl> it goes to boston after new york
[17:34] <KK> I love tall ships.
[17:34] <Wrengl> it will be at south street seaport
[17:34] <the_Bee> a tall ship came to Boston recently. I didn't get to
see it, though
[17:34] <Wrengl> it is amazingly small, as I recall from the original
reproduction, to have carried that many people
[17:34] <KK> What are you volunteering to do, Pat?
[17:35] <the_Bee> sterage was very crowded, I bet
[17:35] <Wrengl> will find out tomorrow at orientation
[17:35] <Wrengl> they have docent and guide positions and office work
[17:35] <Mistyck> ahh cool
[17:35] <jemler> You're a surprise volunteer?
[17:35] <KK> Ah. That sounds great.
[17:35] <Wrengl> since i was a history major and have archaeology
training anything is possible
[17:36] <Mistyck> :-)
[17:36] <Wrengl> they will tell us all tomorrow at orientation what our
assignments will be
[17:36] <KK> Let us know when you find out.
[17:36] <Bynw> hi kk
[17:36] <jemler> I hope you feel up to it, whatever it is.
[17:36] <KK> Hi, Bynw.
[17:36] <Wrengl> kathi is making me a mob cap (one of those colonial
days ladies hats) to wear since i have to wear a hat

[17:37] <Wrengl> it should be
[17:37] * the_Bee stings peer up the wazoo "bad peer" bring dov back!
[17:38] <Wrengl> very casual dress - shorts, comfortable shoes, and the
tee shirt they will be giving us at orientation
[17:38] <jemler> at least you didn't slap it with a fish!
[17:38] <Wrengl> and they have a dining tent and will provide us with
water
[17:39] <the_Bee> thanks for reminding me , jemler
[17:39] * the_Bee slaps DeryniBot around a bit with a large trout
[17:39] * Dov has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:39] <DeryniBot> The smell from Wrengl's kitchen draws Dov into the

[17:39] <jemler> re-re-hi dov
[17:39] <Wrengl> rehi dov
[17:39] <Dov>
[17:39] <Dov> greetings kk
[17:39] <KK> Ah. peer must be propitiatable by food!
[17:40] <KK> Either that, or he was fleeing the fish!
[17:40] <KK> I, too, had forgotten that fish were the preferred weapon
for dealing with Peer.
[17:40] <RainbowDragon> lol
[17:40] <jemler> she slapped me with that trout last week. It's a good
thing I like fish!
[17:40] <Wrengl> or my indiana jones bullwhip
[17:41] <jemler> ooh , leather!
[17:41] <RainbowDragon> Bee's stings are quite formidable as well!
[17:41] <the_Bee> people were falling asleep. I had to wake them up
somehow.
[17:41] <jemler> by slapping me sllier
[17:41] <Wrengl> lol
[17:41] <jemler> sillier
[17:42] <KK> Sounds good to me.
[17:42] <Kelric> mmm. food. I should make dinner
[17:43] <Mistyck> Katherine: When is the tentative release date for
Childe Morgan?
[17:43] <KK> Early December.
[17:43] <Mistyck> neat! In time for Christmas
[17:43] <Kelric> woot. an early christmas present
[17:43] <the_Bee> It will be on my Christmas wishlist
[17:44] <KK> Yep. It might even be available at Darkover.
[17:44] <Mistyck> and hopefully available at Darkover...
[17:44] <Mistyck> yes!
[17:44] <Wrengl>
[17:44] <Kelric> darkover. with luck and not many term papers I might
actually be able to make it to darkover this year
[17:44] <jemler> Mistyck is mind-seeing!
[17:44] <Mistyck> heehee
[17:44] <Bynw> darkover would be good
[17:44] <KK> Speaking of release dates, I do believe that the paperback
of the latest Harry Potter comes out early in July. :-)
[17:45] <Mistyck> Katherine we are hoping that Kelric and RD can be
there with all of us this year
[17:45] <KK> That would be great.
[17:45] <Wrengl> yes it would
[17:46] <Wrengl> and the pub is doing thanksgiving for any early
arrivals who want to come and chip in for the dinner
[17:46] <Mistyck> yep yep
[17:46] <Mistyck> Ryan and I will be there
[17:46] <Mistyck> we'll be bringing food too
[17:46] <Wrengl> but the hostesses are shopping on wednesday this year
when the store still has food
[17:46] <Kelric> if I come I'll chip in
[17:47] <Wrengl>
[17:47] <Mistyck> it's always a fun time at the Pub
[17:47] <Wrengl> i will post on the ng because we will need a number
before we leave
[17:47] <KK> That sounds like a distinct possibility.
[17:47] * natlog has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:47] <DeryniBot> The smell from Wrengl's kitchen draws natlog into
the chat.
[17:47] <Mistyck> hiyas Nat
[17:47] <RainbowDragon> hi natlog
[17:47] <the_Bee> hi natlog
[17:47] <jemler> natlog! wb
[17:48] <natlog> hi all
[17:48] <Wrengl> well last year tika, bynw, and ambush joined us and it
was less expensive and better than most of the restaurants
[17:48] <Wrengl> hi natlog
[17:48] <Mistyck> Pat, we'll have to plan the menu in October
[17:48] <Wrengl> yup
[17:49] <Mistyck> and I found another place that will sell me bulk
samosas
[17:49] <Wrengl> we have decided to do a spiral cut ham for the pub
again this year
[17:49] <Mistyck> so I will be bringing about 50 of those too
[17:50] <Mistyck> oh good!
[17:50] <Wrengl> it worked better than any of the other things we've
tried
[17:50] <Mistyck> yep
[17:50] <the_Bee> you're making me hungry!
[17:50] <Wrengl> oh good mistyck
[17:50] <Wrengl> they were good
[17:50] <Mistyck> yes and I was reluctant to get some that weren't
quite as good as the ones I'd brought
[17:50] <Wrengl> tee hee
[17:51] <Mistyck> but an Indian restaurant near work told me they'll
make them for me and be ready to pick up the day prior to my leaving
[17:51] <Wrengl>
[17:51] <Mistyck> they just want 3 days notice
[17:51] <Wrengl> great
[17:52] <Mistyck> and I think 50 is a good number...last time Martine
took a few back with her
[17:53] <the_Bee> speaking of food: Dov, is kosher salt slaughtered
according to prescribed rituals?
[17:54] <Dov> kosher salt is coarse salt, used to draw blood out of
meat as part f the kosher process
[17:55] <the_Bee> ah. I'm reading a mystery that began with someone
preparing gravlax salmon with kosher salt and sugar
[17:56] <Dov> lax (or lox) is somehow related to a persian word for
"pink"
[17:57] <Dov> also connected to a kind of dye known as "lake" and
"shellac"
[17:58] <the_Bee> The novel is set in Texas
[17:58] <Dov> oops, you pushed my "vocabulary" button :-D
[17:58] <RainbowDragon> lol
[17:58] <Mistyck> teehee
[17:58] <RainbowDragon> but quite interesting, Dov
[17:58] <Mistyck> very interesting
[17:58] <the_Bee> one of a series featuring Ruby the Rabbi's Wife
(widow)
[17:58] <Mistyck> we're a quiet bunch today
[17:59] <Dov> fighting with an ornery printer
[17:59] <Mistyck> ahh
[17:59] <RainbowDragon> KK are you still with us?
[17:59] <the_Bee> We don't want to pester KK till she's done relocating
[17:59] <KK> I'm still here.
[17:59] <KK> But I'm fading fast.
[18:00] <Mistyck> got all your extra stuff packed?
[18:00] <KK> You must be joking.
[18:00] <Mistyck> lol
[18:00] <Dov> how are the various quadrupeds?
[18:00] <Mistyck> yes I was
[18:00] <Mistyck> I hate moving
[18:00] <KK> And what would constitute "extra stuff"?
[18:00] <Dov>
[18:00] <KK> All the four-foots are fine.
[18:00] <Mistyck> all the stuff in the attic/closets/etc that we never
use but have to somehow keep around
[18:00] <RainbowDragon> the non-auctionable stuff
[18:01] <Mistyck> yep!
[18:01] <KK> I've weeded out a great deal of that "stuff" in the past
two years.
[18:01] <Mistyck> good for you!
[18:01] <KK> And we'll be selling a lot of the furniture rather than
put it into storage.
[18:01] <RainbowDragon> that should simplify the packing tremendously
[18:01] <Mistyck> oh good!
[18:02] <KK> No, because books still need to be put into boxes.
Furniture just goes into trucks.
[18:02] <RainbowDragon> how soon before the big move?
[18:02] <KK> Don't know.
[18:02] <RainbowDragon> ah, okay
[18:02] <KK> Possibly as soon as 4 weeks.
[18:02] <the_Bee> last time I moved I had to leave most of my stuff
behind to keep the health department off my back
[18:02] <Mistyck> closing on the new place contingent on the closing of
Hollybrooke?
[18:02] <KK> No, it's more complicated than that.
[18:03] <Mistyck> ahh ok
[18:03] <KK> As soon as I have the new (interim) address, I'll let you
know.
[18:03] <Mistyck> cool!
[18:04] <Dov> think i'm going to sign out now. blessings and good
health all around.
[18:04] <the_Bee> shalom dov
[18:04] <Mistyck> take care and be well Dov. Have a great evening
[18:04] <KK> Blessings to you as well. And I'm away as well.
[18:04] <the_Bee> nighers, KK
[18:04] <Mistyck> take care and have a great week Katherine
[18:04] <KK> Will try to make it next week.
[18:04] * Dov (Quit: Dov steps onto the Transfer Portal and vanishes )
[18:04] * Dov has left IRC
[18:04] <Mistyck> cool
[18:04] <jemler> g'night KK. Take care
[18:04] <RainbowDragon> Thanks for stopping by
[18:05] <KK> I have to get back on the repolish of High Deryni this
week, now that Childe is back with the typesetters.
[18:05] <Mistyck> goodie!!!
[18:05] <RainbowDragon> good news!
[18:05] <KK> All of you, take care. and Pat--feel better!
[18:05] <Mistyck> have a great night Katherine
[18:06] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves good night, and disappears in
a shower of green sparkles.
[18:06] * KK Quit
