Suppose aliens attacked and we, well... missed it...

I was going to blog about my birthday by this is way more interesting.

This is from Popular Mechanics a couple of days ago:

Something invaded our solar system and whacked Jupiter, but professional astronomers were looking the other way at the t...

Getting ready to celebrate.

It's my birthday on Tuesday, but because tomorrow is a public holiday, we've decided to celebrate it a day early.

I'd tell you how old I am going to be except I don't actually believe ti, so it feels like I'd be telling a lie to say the figure out...

Adios to Zorro!

Yay! I finally finished the Zorro story.

Sending it off tomorrow after another typo check. I think the anthology is coming out in March next year.

I'm going to run away and join the circus...

Went to see the Moscow Circus today. Dace loved it (there's a shock!)

Now I want to join a circus. Not sure what I'd do. Setting up the big top looks too much like hard work, ...
