M&D Duck - schedule -

[Mark Stevenson]

I'm moving in January, and'll be spending my attentions primarily on
cats/boxes/stress headaches/getting the reading itself done, but I'll
happily take
a provisional Feb., with the most-likely that I'll be able to take a Jan.
too.

The fluidity (if someone needs/wants only a week) is a Yes for me.

I've also, in part because of recent reminders of "Under the paving
stones...",
been reading about May '68 and so on. Here's to hoping it's more like* that*
than this--
