a bio of Pauline Baynes, an early illustrator of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien's works

My alma mater has received a bequest containing Baynes' working library and a great quantity of her work.

yikes!

Everyone be safe out there; the holiday wingnuts are already out in force; I was driving back from the Taylors' and there were all sorts of "no signalling", "suddenly changing lanes", "slowing for no perceptible reason", "weaving back and forth across the lane", "honking at people for no discernible cause" people on the highways.

Plus, there were people driving worse than they usually do around here.. *ba-dum bish!*

Very nice evening, with a tasty cookout (meat on a stick--best thing ever!) and some card games (Early American Chrononauts and Monty Python Fluxx) with Peter and Ethan.
