Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

trivial matters

Last night the MOB took me to their bosom. I made it to my first Trivia Night, and met Ben from Hammerswing75, John the Night Writer, John the Policy Guy, Douglas from Crossword Bepop, Andy from Residual Forces, as well as the Nihilist and the Atomizer.

I teamed up with Ben and John and John and took second place. Beginners luck. Nowhere to go but down. The winners were the Fraters team, who, I am given to believe, are frequent owners of the "Defending Champions" signage.

T'was great meeting folks whose writing I enjoy, and am looking forward to meeting more at the winter bash next weekend.
