We are kind of melting in Iowa, but it’s been a good day. I took the day off work, mostly. Looking at my work email tonight, that might have been a mistake, but I will deal Monday. 
Meanwhile, I met up with Sarah Prineas, and we had a good time at a coffeehouse talking about writing, which, aside from online antics, I seldom get to do. Most of my very good friends in real life are not writers, my online writing group died the death of the dwindlingly interested, the overly extended, or the uncertain, so frankly, it was great to talk to a writer that was writing and sending things out about…writing. I could stand to do that more, and I hope I will get the opportunity to do so. There’s an education to be had, and more importantly, fun to be had as well. If Sarah’s writing peeps are half as delightful as she is, it should be something to look forward too.
Then, I went home and wrote. Here’s today’s progress bar for HH: PW.
Answer to yesterday’s trivia. Would you believe Hercules explained himself and Diana and Apollo basically said, “Well, that’s okay?” Yup, I don’t believe it either, but that’s what happened.
Today’s question follows: Who made the castanets that Hercules used to frighten the Stygean birds?
And today’s Hercules wisdom:
“I didn’t throw the food,” said Nonna. “Why should I stay home and be punished with you?”
Remember: Don’t expect older people to suffer for your mistakes. They don’t have to be punished when they punish you.
