Another year? But I wasn't done with the old one!

Boy, it took a lot to make it through the holidays. I needed time to unwind after the great mailing of holiday gifts to the family, and the nuts, nuts, nuts! (Half still wrapped and in place for Odd Friday -- hope everyone wanders through.) I read a bunch of short fiction and did 11 SFWA Nebula nominations. Then there was the "When life gives you too many ripe pears, you make sorbet" and "Yes, there is more powdered sugar on the floor than in the bowl, please go away". They can wait a day or two.

A scene for the BLIND TIGER crew, but think it comes later-later -- like another novel.

I choose to take this as my subconscious being optimistic about sequels.

Oh -- and I chose this LJ design a year ago, almost exactly. I scanned a few of the new designs, and nothing seemed right. So for the time being, we go with old design, new name. Because there's been movement. Progress? I hope so.

Happy Western New Year!

Pear sorbet? Recipe?

Hello!

I'm not sure if I said "thank you" last weekend for the Holiday nuts and cookies, but they sure are good!

So, thank you for the Holiday Nuts and Cookies! Tia_Tarina has scarfed the cookies and I've enjoyed the nuts!

Merry whatever! And may you and W. have a happy and prosperous new year!

David

I'm glad you liked them! And thank you again for the Teo's card -- we hope to try their hot chocolate before the season for it has passed.

May we all be healthier and happier in the year to come!
