Blender of Love Digest June 1998


Welcome To The Summer The weather's getting hot and that seems to be reflected in this month's "Blender Board" section, probably the most tumultuous one in the history of the Blender. More excellent works this month as get ready for the first anniversary site techie-revamp that should fix those mailing list and "pressing return" issues for good. This month's Heart-on-Sleeve corner features a Misti Velvet Rainwater section, as well as the usual collection of heartsong. This month I ramble on my "lonely guy" days and review a wonderful collection of memoirs. Enjoy! --Kirk, Blender Keeper	New Works mean chosen one - Misti Velvet Rainwater Another by MVR-- and be sure to check out the special "all Misti" section in this month's Heart-on-Sleeve Corner, before she leaves us for the summer. smoke - msj (msj@tamu.edu).
