Ok, I have been remiss. One of these days I'll blog about the war.

But not today. Today I'll tell you that our first flowers bloomed. Crocusses. Two white, one yellow in the front "yard." (The patch between the sidewalk and the street.) The tulips are coming.

Books: I'm not feeling too bad about the progress I've made lately. I'm not exactly screaming through this second draft, but now that I'm past the patch where I lost the digital versions of the first draft - I'm getting back on a roll.
