Well, now that I have time to think about it, I guess I am pretty much in mourning.
I suppose I’m in stage four of adjusting to things. I’ve done the disbelief, the denial, the anger, and now I’m in mourning. I suppose after that will be acceptance, then the ‘moving on’. Literally.
S’okay. I’m cool with [...]

And now a lighter bit of news…or darker, as the case may be.
I got another short story published…more of a flash really. You can read it at the online mag Tales from the Moonlight Path.

That was back in ‘89. I stayed at NIU for [...]

As you can see, though I haven’t been posting much, I have been busy. Note the new sidebar with the shortened bio.

We got a rhyme for rain: rain, rain, go away. Come again some other day. What about snow? Why don’t we have a rhyme for snow? Snow, snow, you really blow. Go pile on someone else’s toe. Feh, not exactly Hallmark sentiment, is it?
It’s not the snow, though, that’s been making things slow around the [...]
