Some things that are stuck in my head now: The song Surrender Dorothy, by Chris Williamson, the funny mouth-feel of saying Fawn Hoof Mummy, as though it's all one German word, and a bad dream last week about Juanita going to art college, so her take-home body-embalming project popped something mysterious up out of the coffin, that landed on the back of my neck. Something wet, like an oyster.

Fawn Hoof was obviously important and wealthy proving no matter what, you’re going to die and possibly be desecrated. USA or Egypt or anywhere in between.
