Whew!

Finished Draft #2 of The Magistrates of Hell - Asher & Ysidro # 4. And am extraordinarily pleased with it, zombies and all. Teaching three classes (Western Civ, World History, and US up to 1865) it'll be a dang tight push, to get it polished, cut, and ready to turn in by the due-date, but I'd hoped to get this far by the start of the semester. Glad I made it with 12 hours to spare.

I got  a PS3 for my birthday and it vexes me that most evenings until Halloween I'll be working on the manuscript (when I'm not teaching night classes) instead of climbing vines and leaping from balcony to balcony in pursuit of lost treasure. (I have very cheesy and predictable taste in console games).

And on the subject of Halloween -- at CostCo the other day I saw - above the heads of the mob - A GIANT SNOWMAN AND DISPLAYS OF CHRISTMAS WRAPPING!!! IT'S NOT EVEN FRAKKING LABOR-DAY!!! WTF??!!!??

harumf.
