Post and Run

It's a Buffy-centric night for y'all. Tomorrow I head to Seattle to visit E for two weeks. Must finish packing and get to bed early. That 4 am alarm is painful.

More RSS Feed News...Ugh

Still messing with the RSS feed. Got any suggestions or ideas, please holler. Tamara and I are truly not familiar with these at all. We'll continue to work and test it, but I suggest not subscribing to it just yet. We may even change the link, so please hold off.

Now off to more updates, enjoy!

RSS Feed

For those of you who signed up for the RSS feed for this site through feedburner, go ahead and unsubscribe. We jumped the gun a wee bit on that because the darn thing isn't working. We're going to try a different RSS delivery system and won't let y'all know about it until we've made sure it works. If anyone out there has installed a feed on their blog or site and would like to give us some pointers, we'll sure take 'em.

Fall

It's clearly here in Seattle. The leaves with some color are starting to fall and the wet, dark and gloomy days are here. I love these days and somehow others seem not to appreciate the greatness of each of them.

One notice...a very nice email from Lynn suggested we put in a RSS feed. Hence on the right below our yahoo group link is a new RSS feed link. Any problems with it, please holler.

Enjoy your updates!

Roughing It

3:30 and I'm ready for a nap. Last night I slept in our new tent with the kids. We set it up in the backyard where the pool used to be. Ran an extension cord into the tent and plugged in two laptops and a DVD player. Now that's my version of roughing it. I managed to sleep okay. Not great but okay. Two sleeping bags and four comforters made the ground a little softer. Max also slept with us. Tonight it's Mike's turn. I get the soft bed. Yippee!

Hype Night

While scrolling and checking for updates today I ran upon a nifty announcement. Mickey Minner is writing a new story. Extra fun is if you belong to her yahoo group. There you'll be able to help decide how the story goes. Check it out.

Now back to your updates...small night perhaps you can catch up with the huge days earlier in the week.

My Lunch with Andi

Today I had the pleasure of meeting up-and-coming writer Andi Marquette. It's not often people come to Oklahoma so when she emailed me and said she'd be in Oklahoma City in October and asked if I'd be willing to meet up with her I said sure. I loved the sense of humor that came through in her emails and in her stories and figured even with my introvert tendencies we'd get along all right. I wasn't wrong. Andi is even better in person. We ate lunch at a restaurant that overlooks Redhawks Stadium and then walked around the Bricktown area a bit. She even allowed me to drag her to my house so I could have a pee break. Come to visit me and you get red carpet treatment all right.

She was also nice enough not to get too freaked out by my driving in unfamiliar downtown even when I ran a tiny red light. At least I'm up front with passengers that I have absolutely no sense of direction even in my own city. I've lived here most of my life and I still mapquested directions to her hotel. Yes, I'm that sad.

Andi will soon have two books released by Regal Crest and a short story of hers ("From the Boots Up") will appear in the Torquere Press anthology Under This Cowgirl's Hat, scheduled to be released this month. All you have to do is read Andi's online stories (here or here) to see that her books will be worth purchasing.

If you ever get the chance to meet Andi in person at a convention (GCLS in August anyone?) or at a book signing, do so. You won't be disapointed.

Timing Is Everything

Wednesdays are my daughter's swim lesson evenings, hence bringing my mp3 player and a good book is suggested. Unfortunately last night I finished the Esposito book (it was excellent), so at work today I was kinda bummed thinking loud music only tonight. But happily for me it was a mail day. In my box was a splendid gift from Phair aka Marguerite Mullaney. Aethereal Sea awaits my reading pleasure! Thanks, Phair, I'll let you know what I think.

Now to the rest of you enjoy your updates!

October Banging

Does anyone know what the heck has happened to Amorous Ladies and Femslash in Flux? They've been notified by LJ that their sites have been deleted. I was hoping it was one of LJ's unwarranted deletions and that they would come back but no such luck so far.

Yes, October continues to come in with a bang....

Back Online

Had some prime reading opportunity last night and I started to read Mermaid by Michelene Esposito. This is a well-written story about a women searching for answers about life. Not a happy book, but it takes hard subject matter (suicide) and does an outstanding job in creating a reality around it.

Now on to a huge update. We're bringing October in with a bang! Enjoy.
