Flotsam and Jetsam from Friday

Percy's fine, btw. For those of you who asked at Faire, thank you, he's just old and starting in January he'll be 14 and in extra innings. So, to make things easier on all of us, he's spending weekends with the dog sitter, since he needs to go out every 4 hours or less. And to make things easier on the two-leggeds in the house, I will be coming in on some Sundays to set up, but then disappearing back home to take care of matters domestic, to return to Faire late afternoon. Don't panic.
