This and That

Hey guys!

First of all, I’m back from my whirlwind week of travel. Orlando was good. I would rather have been home for more than two days between Orlando and Minneapolis, but you know, Minneapolis was also good. Going to Disney just makes me want to go again, this time with friends and family.

Minneapolis: Good friends, watched the Watchmen (I seldom have seen such a violent film, but it improves upon reflection, in spite of its level of violence), Bryon did well in the costume contest, and our Broad Universe reading was well attended and received, although Bryon thinks my reading may have been disturbing for the audience. That is probably the reaction you hope for about someone dying from meningitis in fiction.

Now, we are back in the work saddle for a full week. And yes, I have some work to do. Besides the day job, I have HH:PW edits, and that will pretty much be my evening and my spring break. We have a research trip to the Vesterheim in Decorah this weekend.

Of course, I want to link you to this week’s Blood is Thicker than Water.

And, in the tradition of other writers giving me kaboodles to think about, here’s an article from Guy Gabriel Kay, which makes him out to be a pretty wise fellow in terms of the pitfalls of internet communication, which I strongly believe is the real reason the entire racial debate strung out into infinity. You go, Guy!

And remember kids, I really am not a person. I’m a persona.
