- The middle grade novel is done, at last, and out it goes, synopsis written, shoes tied, face washed, on Monday. Calloo, callay! O, frabjous day! Thank you, God. NOW I feel like my brain is back online for the first time since — sheesh, October? — and can resume revising my science fiction novel…
- I am being interviewed by someone named Capillya. The name is undeniably awesome.
- I SAW MY FIRST SNOWDROP TODAY. WOOT!
- Yesterday, the sky was blue for seven hours straight.
- The Little (Bro) got his passport this week, which means the week after his Senior Trip to San Diego, he’s going to come and slouch around my house and eat all of my food for a week. Nice, huh?
- The Niecelet – whose Scottish name is Ms. McFlea-McFly, is coming with him. She explains that she does not slouch. Nor eat nearly as much. This is good.
- Did I mention the snow drop?
- Another good thing: plum-apple sauce. And the ease of making such. And eating it out of the jar, by the spoonful.
- The CIA has pictures on their Flickr (Wait – seriously. Let’s take a moment. The CIA has a Flickr account!?!? …Because???) of something like the Bug thingies in my science fiction novel. Yeah, I know!! How cool is that?
- Just…swimming. And indoor pools with foggy glass ceilings on a cold morning.

DID I MENTION THE SNOW DROP???
