Slept from eleven to seven.
Woke briefly around two.
High of seventy-six today, with a 30% chance of rain.
Listened to music and played with D&D stuff.
Changed towels, watered plants, Drain-O'd the tub.

Twenty-minute walk in the early afternoon.
Looks like rain, but none has fallen yet.
Went up to Gate Keeper Games in Berkley in the afternoon to replace my 5e _PHB_.
The binding fell apart — a common problem with first printings.

> I knew Gahan while I was working in Publishing in the mid 1980s and later. We sometimes met for drinks in Manhattan when other writers from the Magazines were in town (then Davis Publications, Asimov's, Analog, Ellery Queen & Hitchcock's digest mags). He was friends with my mentor, the late Julius Schwartz (Julie) of DC comics. One of the funny stories Julie used to tell about Gahan was that when he was sculpting the World Fantasy Awards in Lovecraft's image, Gahan asked Julie what the back of HPL's head looked like! LOL. Julie was, at the time, the only living person who had seen HPL in person and actually knew him in person, having visited with him a few times over business. Julie had acted as agent on some of his stories, most notably, At The Mountains of Madness. Julie had some photos he took but none of them showed the back of HPL's head, so he wasn't of much help to Gahan! Julie used to tell that story whenever he did his History of Fandom Slide-show and I assume Gahan would have denied it if it weren't true.
