elfsSo, today is Traci Lords' birthday.
That being the case, it is also mine. I'm 44 years old today, and if I haven't run out my warranty certainly it feels like I'm in need of an overhaul.
For the past year, I haven't been reading very much. Part of that might be having been laid off, but part of that is probably due to my generically failing eyesight. This week, I bought my first non-ironic pair of reading glasses, and have re-discovered the joys of reading for pleasure. I've even finished one book Jack Campbell's The Lost Fleet: Victorious, and another novella, Michael Flynn's Dawn, and Sunset, and the Colours of the Earth.
And since reading is an absolutely necessary precursor to writing, maybe I'll start writing again. That would be nice.
