Howdy, howdy!
It is such a gorgeously bright, sunshiny day around here, even though there is still snow everywhere. Of course, all that white makes it even brighter.
The only real news here is that I am hard at work on a new novel that is going extremely well thus far, so I'm not hanging out online much. However, there is a bit of news from un autre:
From NYC-based poet/writer, Thaddeus Rutkowski:
Hope everyone's having a nice winter. Here are some things I'm doing or offering.
