I'm unexpectedly single for Valentine's Day, Beth still being in Beloit. Now I have to figure out what to do with my spare opera ticket.

BTW, here's Eisenbraun's 2009 Valentine's Day Contest. Not as good as good as last year's ;) OK, OK, I didn't submit anything this year, and my attempts to get Allisa and her Mycenological friends to submit something in Linear B were apparently unsuccessful (or at least any output so produced did not win even an "honorable mention.") Oh well, maybe next year.

Oh, and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Hey, as usual when I finally get to my journal I'm too tired and in a hurry to give a full account, but...

Please direct your browsers to this link. Note especially, but not exclusively, the entry titled "The Medinet-Hubbu Cippus."

Wait... pleading!? That's not what happened!

I've submitted (with their permission) a corrected version due to some minor typos, but they haven't put it up yet. Still, if you spot any mistakes, it's fair game to mention them here.

And bonus points if you can explain the pun in the title.
