November 16-19 2014.

Sunday 11/16/14.  World and Future Building MinnSpec meetup at Black:  Coffee and Waffles.  It worked well, despite my poor planning.  (I thought Black would be uncrowded on Sunday.  Figured about 5 people would attend, and there were about 13.  Acoustics rather less favorable than I realized.)

It devolved into several conversation groups.

Note:  Black has black coffee, but doesn't seem to have black waffles.

**(Monday 11/17/14.  At the Wedge Coop, a toddler and I pretended to menace each other.

Wednesday 11/19/14.  -"Cold Weather Hits All of US,"- Star Tribune story listing, front page.

So, how well did Honolulu do at snow removal?

***Decision: Use much more description in writing.  Synesthetic, straight sensory, emotional.  Starting in January; in fiction, nonfiction, this journal.

Why not start right away?  I'm scared.

***At Walker Library, I took out:  Richard Kadry, The Getaway God.  -"My name is Death. And it appears that I have been murdered."-  That's the most interesting passage; unfortunately, it's a teaser for the next in the series.

The nasty old gods who God stole the universe from want to take it back.  Which means everyone on Earth, in Heaven, and in Hell will die.  Their supporters and opponents include humans, angels, demons, vampires, and four of the five persons God has split into.  (The fifth is dead.) 

Moderately good story.  There's too much background detail explained rather than shown, and too many wisecracks, for my taste.  Theological accuracy not guaranteed.

Charles Stross, The Rhesus Chart.  Haven't read it yet.
