Depending on whom you ask, Beltane was on the first (May Day) or it's today (astronomically speaking) or somewhere in between. I figure this would be a nice celtic time, between the extremes of equinoces and solstices, to get Enterzone 14 published.

Overheard on Euclid in northside, Berkeley: "there's crepes here and down here you can have korean barbecue" ... "that was the first question they asked me: 'why would you leave California to come to Belfast?' I told them. 'It's been raining in California for the last four months.'"

I know the area code's changed, dial 411. I"m reminded that 760 is the new one down there. I call, I get Maureen on the first try. Have they got my advance from McGraw-Hill yet? Sent it out today. I hang up, turn of the phone, throw it on the passengers' seat, close my eyes.
