Bad news: furnace quit.

Worse news: part won't come in until tomorrow.

Good news: 38F and sunny kept the house comfy all day.

Better news: neighbors have inundated us with space heaters and heated throws.

Best news: I'm invited to attend the Brothertown Book Club on Zoom this week, and have started a conversation about making a full presentation to them soon!

Thank heavens it wasn't during the super cold, and that you have neighbors who were generous with heat providing things! Hope all goes well with parts installation, etc.

So grateful for update!

PS What's the Brothertown Book Club?

[kayre]

Thomas Commuck, who I've been researching, was a Brothertown Indian. The book club is a group of people who read and discuss relevant history, and in fact this week's discussion is on the few surviving letters by Commuck.

Well, that's incredibly nifty!

As a white person planning a major presentation on a Native topic, I'm eager to have conversations with tribe members, and the book club is a solid start.

I love everything about this!

Yay for wonderful neighbors.
Congratulations on the invitation.

Oof. Yay for helpful neighbors! (Our furnace died suddenly a few weeks ago too. Is something going around? Do I need to immunize my new furnace against it?)
