The back yard catalogue

I’m going to have to spend a lot of time in my back yard today, minding a BBQ job I’m doing for a friend.  Since watching a barbecue only requires intermittent attention (also known as “throw another log on the fire”), I have a lot of time and not so much to do.

Then I thought:  “Hey!  I got this wonderful new portable computin’ machine now . . . I wonder if the wireless signal is good enough to reach the back yard?”  So I came out and tried it, and connected right away.

And that led to me sitting in a lawn chair with my portable (whose name is Pitr, btw), a mug of cappuccino and a tote full of books beside me, cataloguing away on LibraryThing.  (Current progress:  1156 volumes catalogued, just finished the main fiction shelves, five book presses done, now starting the cookbook collection.)
