I’ve been getting happy comments from people who’ve received and read WALKING DEAD and are ready for the next one. *laughs* No fair. I can’t keep up. :) Actually, of course, I’m way ahead of them, starting the 6th book right now, but it takes *so little* time to read a book and so long to write one, even if you write fast! Mind you, vis-a-vis wanting the last Codex Alera book RIGHT NOW, I’m just like my readers when *I’m* reading, but still! On the other hand, I also…
tiny bubbles
I read Jim’s PRINCEPS’ FURY over the weekend. It is true I’m turning into a terrible sop, but it made me cry. Well done, Jim. Also, want the last book NOW!!!

Marith just gave me this link: lost photographs of Hiroshima. Which reminds…

We didn’t get pirate pictures, because we were in the wrong place at the necessary time, but we walked approximately 45207 miles and took an equal number of photographs, some of which I’ll post soon. And I had all kinds of clever thoughts and things to post about regarding the weekend, but I’m too sleepy now to type them up and I’m afraid I’ll sort of not get around to it later in the week. Maybe I should give…
