She is not happy.

She is not happy.

So somebody downloaded a file from CC and has a problem. Jane's up to her ears in aardvarks on her book, and she asked me to handle it, which involves, in this case, getting the file which I don't keep on my computer and sending it to the person who needs it. This...

But it's not the color or texture we really want. This is decent structural stuff, but we may have to dress up in our ninja outfits and go rock-hunting on the highway again in quest of the deeply black and fractured stuff. Next time I heft large rocks, I'm not wearing...

THEN there's the hassle of trying to get covers, text, and format all lined up. But we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Excuse the spam attack on Closed Circle: we got the dike plugged. There's a hot spot in hell for these jerks. I trust none of you are in...

just sayin'. I rarely do short pieces. But in the process of trying to get my head on straight after the Yvgenie edit while traveling, I've done a Foreigner short piece, involving Ilisidi, and involving her viewpoint. I haven't got it up on CC yet, but it will be....

Nothing like a 2-hour time adjustment. Traveling as fast as we do, it amounts to jet lag, and the only thing we can say is---we're sleepy half the day and awake half the night. We're getting stuff done, but we feel kind of done in. Some vitamins are in order, likely....
