When Kurt Von­negut passed away, I point­ed out that the Bokonon­ist mantra “Busy, busy, busy” is one that I find use­ful in my own life, espe­cial­ly this week. So it goes. The Kansas Guild of Blog­gers, nor­mal­ly put online on Mon­day, is thus appear­ing on Fri­day, and incor­po­rates only sub­mis­sions to the blogcarnival.com sys­tem. Heck, I’m even using their bor­ing “instacar­ni­val.” I’m sure there’s been a bunch of good stuff out there that I’ve missed, and I apologize.

Next Mon­day it’s at Paul Decelles’ place. Sub­mit!
