We have sun today. One good day of sunlight before the clouds and rain (and maybe sleet and snow) return. At one point, the NWS was forecasting a high of 57˚F for today, but that's been lowered to 49˚F. Currently, it's only 41˚F, with the windchill at 33˚F. In Birmingham, it's 68˚F, and the forecast high is 78˚F.

Yesterday, I wrote 1,552 words, and I found THE END of "Ballad of a Catamite Revolver." Today I proofread the story, then pull together Sirenia Digest #134, which I hope will go out to subscribers tonight or tomorrow morning.

A very unexpected royalty check from Brazil showed up yesterday and saved our asses. Money from the sky is always a good thing.

I'm pretty sure the fact that you can buy body bags on Amazon is just about as fucked up as anything.

And I have this photograph. I'm no longer much of a fan of Providence, and I've never really cared for the neighborhood where we live. But every now and then it has its moments, even I will admit.
