Kristin, that's some damned good company you're talking about keeping, there. Don't forget some Garrison Keillor, too.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Wrod. Keillor rocks. Makes it look easy, too. All the great ones do.ETA: And I'm quite proud of having made him laugh once, as evidenced by taking every opportunity to talk about it.

Because books.
Deb, you're not hogging. I love your drabbles. I'm not getting anything for this one, other than falling in love, and that was more of a sharp smack in the forehead for me. And I've got all fingers crossed for you this year -- I'm about three chapters away from done with Weaver, which rocks so very hard. I looove Penny and Ringan, and Penny and Ringan together, and all of it. The way you describe their encounters with Will and Betsy give me goosebumps.
Kristin, that sounds wonderful! I have a blog on blogspot which I just started updating again, and I will gladly link to your site when it's ready, not that I imagine too many people will be reading my blog. But I do have books coming out in March and May and next January, so hopefully some of those readers will check in. (And they told two friends, and they told two friends...)

I'll let y'all know when mine is up, but I think I'm going to see how well I can sustain it before I make much of an effort to spread the word. I'm afraid that life will, once again, get in the way, and it will turn into one of the thousands of orphan websites that no one has swept or dusted for years.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
AtlanticRock.com, "your one-stop information site for all things African in America," is republishing an old essay of mine, "Once Again, Poetry Is Dead?: It must be true, because Newsweek said it."
Odd when total strangers take interest in things I wrote ages ago. But hey, I'm honored just to be here, y'know?

That's what mine looks like now -- the website, not the blog. I kept thinking it would be easier than it is to put one together, and, uh, not so much, it turns out. I'm hoping my thirteen-year-old will pick up Dreamweaver faster than I am.

Web design is one of the things I do to make a living, but my business website is like the shoemaker's children. I would never let a client's website get so out of date.

woot! Go, Victor!
Kristin is reading two of my early short stories. One was written when Jo was a newborn, the other in 1988 or thereabouts.

Thanks. Strange being asked for something by a predominatly Afro-centric Web site, but then, I always marvel at where these things end up.
