<p>(1) sprain my wrist when I tripped and fell on a Cambridge sidewalk a week ago, or</p>
<p>(2) have a Doctor&#8217;s appointment made Monday to talk about what I thought was a minor but annoying problem balloon over two days into a projected operation in Anchorage, 350 miles away.</p>
<p>I normally blog four days a week: Monday (Alaska weather), Wednesday (quotation contexts), Friday (Jarn&#8217;s Journal ) and Sunday (snippets from my writing.) I thought I&#8217;d fill in Saturdays with my genealogy from Genographics, and  Tuesdays and Thursdays with my experiences at the conference and in self publishing. Well, I&#8217;ve had to cancel the conference (I&#8217;ll be in surgery when it opens, and the surgery has nothing to do with my fall in Cambridge.)</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know yet if I&#8217;ll have WiFi in the hospital, but the Wednesday and Sunday posts for June are already scheduled. I hope to get next week&#8217;s and Jarn&#8217;s Journal through the end of the month written and scheduled before I fly to Anchorage Tuesday. Beyond that? I have just had my collection of old slides digitized and I have lots of other photos from the Corning Glass Museum, so you may be treated to a lot of pictures on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But I&#8217;m still going to try for a post a day.</p>
