Howdy all. I’m pleased to announce that I’ll officially be on vacation for the next five days. I’ll be back at work on Wednesday, but until then, I might very well just (gasp!) not post. Then again, maybe I’ll take some fun pictures and want to show them to ya’ll. You never know, with Bryces. Revision update (for those who care): It’s taken me a while to slog through the first four chapters of ParkerBoy, but I’m really happy with how it’s turning out, and I think it should start going more smoothly soon.

Thank goodness DKC has the next few weeks off from work–that gives us more time to get everything else done. I don’t like it when I get too swamped (does anyone?)–too much trudging forward, and I get snappy and ill-tempered.
