Agency

Beltane                                                                     Early Growth Moon

A sunny afternoon, a thundery morning.  Snow this evening?  No.  Just kidding.  I think.

Anyhow we’re in the midst of a high humidity moment, again.  65 dewpoint and 78.  Not the end of the world, but this is after all, just May 18.

Went to a Hennepin County Library presentation on how to pick a literary agent.  It was actively bad.  The woman, whose name I will not reveal to protect the innocent, gave as her qualification for making the presentation her failure as a literary agent.  There you are.

Unfortunately I arrived a half-hour late and had to sneak into a spot where I couldn’t leave gracefully.  This is Minnesota.  So, I endured.  I had no way of knowing in advance that she would be terrible; it was a Loft sponsored event and I thought it might give me another slant on the whole agent side of publishing.  Sigh.

This is the second time this week I’ve gotten times bollixed up.  The first time we went to the American Swedish Institute and got there around 10:45.  When I tried to buy a ticket for the Sami show, the lady said, “The museum doesn’t open until noon.”  “Oh,” I said, “That wasn’t clear on your website.”  Yes it was she said.  Then, I thought it was them.

Two times and I’m the connecting link; I have to look at how carefully I look.  Hmmm…
