16:17:24: Just back from doctor, pharmacy, grocery. Soup's in progress.

21:52:09: Wind's finally dropping, sky's clear, moon's full...would be great night for a late walk if not too blinkin' cold.

10:43:29: About to have phone talk with Social Security about signing up for Medicare. Sigh. I'd just as soon not, but costs more if you wait.
11:37:54: I am now signed up for Part A and Part B. I will get lots of paperwork in the mailbox. O goody! (Can you feel the enthusiasm?)
11:38:54: Off to wash my hair. No, no--not in reaction to the call--it...

First Chapter Excerpt Up!

Del Rey has put up the first chapter of Oath of Fealty, which has a March 16 release date, on their site. For those who want more particulars on the book, I'm giving you a link to their catalog description, and for those who just want to read the chapter, a link to the chapter.

Blog post at Orbit Books site

In case you missed it in the Twitter list (some of you don't like to look at the Twitter list, I'm sure), I have a blog post up at the Orbit Books site about conversations with our vet as research for books.

Not that I'm bragging or anything...(grin)

08:43:17: Must finish essay...must finish essay...o look, it's sunny outside...must finish...
20:38:49: I'm not saying "I told you so" so firmly that I think it's printed on my forehead instead. This is not good.
20:40:23: Gave up and got family plan for cellphones. Everybody's got one. Communication, command & control? Probably not. More like chaos.
22:42:03: I have a guest post up on the Orbit Books blog: http://www.orbitbooks.net/2010/01/25/you-want-to-know-what/#more-7051

Grr-argh-blecch-aaahhhh

Been a difficult few days for reasons having no interest to anyone outside the family circle (and maybe not there) but sinuses, eyes, gut and teeth were all involved in one way or another, along with the diminution of cognitive function that always seems to accompany a really good-sized migraine.   Peripheral pain can usually be shunted aside while the brain goes right on doing what it does, but pain in the head interferes with concentration.   Worry ditto...worry about stuff in general or...

10:11:52: New thing: making bread from dough I froze on Thursday. Moved from freezer to fridge overnight; now it's in the pan, I hope rising.
14:01:34: Bread experiment worked: frozen dough thawed out, warmed up, puffed up, baked normally, and tasted great.
22:45:48: PBS showing Austen's "Emma"...anyone else watching that?

13:28:46: Tasks stacked up like planes over multi-hub airport on a bad day. I no sooner get one to the gate and unloaded than more show on radar.
13:30:05: Son's second day of college went really well yesterday.
