I spent a couple of hours this afternoon attending an Eagle Scout court of honor with my father. These are always a little awkward for me, since I don’t really know anybody there — my father’s been involved in the troop and local district considerably longer than I ever was — but I go to show support and because I think my father appreciates it. And this one was actually pretty nice, and nowhere near as awkward as the first one I went to<\/a>, when I wound up feeling like an interloper up on stage. And they had a really nice spread of food afterward, so it really wasn’t so bad.<\/p>\n

I spent the rest of the afternoon working on the Spring 2012 issue of Kaleidotrope<\/i>, which is now live<\/a>. It’s another interesting mix, and I hope some of you will take the time to read some of the stories and maybe even comment with your thoughts.<\/p>\n

And then I rounded out the evening by watching The Lady Eve<\/a>, a screwball comedy from Preston Sturges starring Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. It was a little silly and convoluted even by those standards, but good fun nevertheless.<\/p>\n
