I brought a cake to the butcher today, as promised a few months ago. :) Luckily for me, the man who’d asked for it originally was there, and I said if he didn’t mind, I needed a moment of his time. He said “You’ve my full attention!” So I said to him that a few months ago I’d been in and had bought some small eggs rather than large, and he’d been giving me a hard time about it, but I’d said I preferred the smaller ones for baking, which…
NO DOMINION

I have too many pending projects. I can’t figure out what to work on. Woe! WOE! Perhaps I’ll list them and throw a dart. :) – Billy Holliday short story – Suzanne Quinley short story – Bryant’s short story – other Walker Papers short story – Daisani AFTERMATH story – another AFTERMATH story – HEAVEN CAN WAIT proposal – LEGION chapter – retold Alaskan origin story …ok, the (or a) problem here is I’m nominally finishing all of that this month. Even if I drop HEAVEN CAN WAIT out of…
