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!
