I do try to be helpful. Someone ought to be, really. The cats, likewise, I'm sure. Though their idea of helpful is sometimes lacking. (Two inkwells nearly went over this week.)
As to the party, oh yes. A first rush of the entirely expected ones (my parents, Diane and Chiron, a fair range of both astronomers and Quidditchers.) Chimera Powell, so I can finally introduce you properly, and Amaryllis Poundtree (clearly, our library will be amiably occupied for the evening.)
And Moira Grantworth sent a pleasant but decidedly puzzled acceptance. I need to write back and reassure her I loved that biography of Hypatia, and so did a number of other people who'll be there. (Because, really, what's the use of having social leverage if one can't use it to invite interesting people to one's party?)
Beyond that, a couple of notes from people clearly trying to figure out who else is invited and being baffled by their perceived observational data. You'll find that decidedly interesting, and I suspect it's going to be more so later in the week.
