Apologies for the erratic posts here, my friends. I’m busier than crud at the moment, I’m afraid — this weekend I shot up to NYC and back to celebrate Kate’s 25th birthday and generally spend some time with the girl (whom I miss a great deal). In addition to that, I’m doing a bunch of client work, putting together the Autumn Inkblots, writing a story for {fray} (it’s coming, Derek, it’s just too darn long right now so I’m editing it down), trying to figure out how to wrangle the proper finances for Magellan (that longstanding evolution in my hardware and personal task management system) and, oh, just tons of things. “Bang bang hammer hammer” is sort of the mantra du jour.
Oh, and I’m having four wisdom teeth forcefully ripped from my jaws tomorrow morning. I plan to be unconscious for as much of tomorrow as possible, thankyouverymuch. Please leave a message, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I return to the planet. 😉
