The Watermelon Ninja
So, still working on the Mythcon report -- but in the meantime thought I'd share some pictures Janice took on Saturday to celebrate our having gotten to the Kent Farmer's Market early and snagged ourselves a real watermelon, with seeds. And a good-sized one too. Decided it deserved dispatch with the sword Janice got me a few years back. Janice decided to record the results, and here they are:
Dear John,
ReplyDeleteThat's some action with the watermelon!
Can we exchange emails offline? I was Elaine Griffith's student at St. Anne's College in 1967-8. I much enjoyed your essay in Perilous and Fair about Tolkien's female research students. I have often wondered why Miss Griffiths didn't publish. Your article helped me understand some reasons but raised other questions.
You can reach me at AnneKaier@verizon.net.
Many thanks,
Anne
