Wands are out of date--you just can't get a good one anymore. But I got the chance to be a hero of the revolution--that was the exact phrasing used in the offer--by lending a traveling friend $200 for, as it turned out, about 40 minutes, between the time his traveling companion lost the wallet containing all the credit and ATM cards, and the time he found it again.

I told someone in the con suite that she was forgiven for everything, and a passing fan asked if she could also have total absolution. I told her she could, and gave her my get-out-of-Hell-free card. Questioned about my authority for such broad absolution, I flashed my Pope card, and people were duly impressed. One asked if all Popes carry cards; I don't know that.

Debbie had expressed deep regret that we were in Madison too late for lilacs, which don't grow in the Bay Area, so when I spotted someone carrying a few at the Farmer's Market, I hurried around, found the one vendor who had lilacs, and bought a large bunch, so I could give her half. Delight, and we had lilacs in the Green Room during the day.

David came into the Green Room during my shift, and asked for ibuprofen. That's not a standard Green Room item. Without thinking, I handed him my room key and said "524." He asked where in the room, I told him, and he returned a few minutes later, feeling much happier.

I want Teresa's Bag of Odd Holding, from which she produces unlikely but useful items that neither she nor the person who asks for them really expects to find there.
