Just a quick note, here, Bloglodytes.  I am around, honestly, and checking in on most of your blogs at least occasionally, but the offspring are being little time-suckers at the moment.  Anyways, we've survived the worst and the days will be getting longer now (at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere.  For the rest of you, it's summer, so I have no sympathy at all) and before you know it those crocuses will be squirting up to say 'sproing!'

On the writing front, I intend to be back with pencils and a vengeance in January, and in the meantime, Echo Ink Review has a story of mine ("Ink") in their December issue.  Click on the link, scroll down slightly (look for the oyster) and then squint as you try to make out my name on the cover.  They claim it's available at Amazon, but I haven't seen it there.  Check your local library, if you're curious and have time during the holidays?  Do libraries even still stock short fiction publications?

Have a good rest, Bloglodytes!
