Probably while I was at Starbucks writing this afternoon. It was in the pocket of my coat, which was hanging over the back of my chair, and apparently it proved too great a temptation for some dickhead. I noticed it was missing as I was leaving the mall, and went back to both the restrooms I’d used and the Starbucks to see if it had fallen and been turned in. Not, it appears, so much.

And either it hangs together a lot better than I thought it would or I’m far too close to it right now to see its glaring errors. After a few detail fixes and a…
I’m reaching the end of the really-easy-to-access Kitsnaps I’ve got stored up. I will clearly have to actually spend some time getting things ready for more posts in the near future, or I’ll drop this ball and that would make me sad. I’ve done so well for what, two months now? :)
