cold as ice

okay...

cold here the past three days. gray and freezing rain and ice.



for me, that's great writing weather! no bright sunshine and green grass to lure me outside and away from the keyboard. jake, of course, insists on at least one good long walk a day, so i get out...

but i've been having a great time playing with the perhapanauts and i can't wait until we can get that annual out and this monthly gig goin'!! (as craig mentioned in the comments section the other day, due to a mix up at image, the annual, which was scheduled for the beginning of this month, is now coming out at the end. the bad news is...well, that was the bad news. the good news is that the wait for issue one to come out will be that much shorter! sweet!

gotta go and get back to it!

I had a few days off work this week and it was in the high 70s all those days. That never happens to me. Normally I'm off when it is cold and stuck inside all day when its nice and warm out. It was beautiful weather to be outside running. I got a bit of a shock today when I walked outside in short sleeves and its 60 degrees and windy.
