¶ Matins: I’m going to the country this weekend….

¶ Sext: What a coinkydink! There I was, chatting with the ganome about Jane Austen, when an advance-fee scam letter, as crabbedly composed as if the writer had been sweating over Mansfield Park, popped into my mailbox.

Oremus…

§ Matins. And looking forward to it! I’ve been meaning to go for ages, but a happy congruence between Kathleen’s schedule, my host’s schedule, and my spring-fever craving for an unpremeditated lark, the time is right. I’ll go up on Saturday at some point, and return on Monday morning. Whether my trip involves remote blogging remains to be seen; I’m told that the wireless reception is dicey.

I haven’t been to Salem in nearly four years, since the Republican Convention of 2004. My host’s daughter was just a wee thing then. She’s still a wee thing, really. But I won’t be surprised if she offers to cut me a rate on the guest room.
