[Catherine Keegan]

I was away for a week and came back to find my favorite cozy Potter list 
smoldering but not quite in flames.  Thanks, mods!

So, a new topic must be in order.  Hmmm.  *looks around the house and 
scratches her head, trying to think before finishing that first cup of 
coffee...*

Surely we can discuss something fun.  Food?  Music.  Ah, maybe music would 
be a good topic.  OK, here's my possibly pathetic attempt at a non 
political, OT, chatty kind of topic.

What do you put onto the stereo (oi!  I'm showing my age.  CD player.) when 
you sit down for a nice long afternoon or evening of reading?

How about writing or being creative in some other form?

I'm partial to almost anything instrumental for reading or anything from 
our huge collection of Irish/Scottish music.  The Slavic bits work well, too.

Writing: weird stuff.  Love Dead Can Dance, Medaevil Baebes, Wolgemut and 
show tunes.  Current revisited favorite "Chess" - the British version 
(argh!  Had to bring in a country reference but the US edition is so lame 
in comparison.)

Catherine in California.  Time for more coffee, it's only just past 7 AM 
here on an overcast morning.
