sovay today, for the next issue of Sirenia Digest (subscribe, subscribe, subscribe), because, on the other side of that story, I still have to complete Tales from the Woeful Platypus this month.I did manage to clean my office yesterday.

Once again, I find myself not quite in the mood to "blog." I keep getting distracted by things outside the window.

But I think it's probably best if I don't answer, one way or the other. All things considered. One never knows when something might come knocking at the door late one night, and there should always be a few unanswered riddles close at hand.Oh, and the platypus just nipped at my left ankle and sneered and ordered me to remind you that Amazon.com is offering Alabaster and Daughter of Hounds for a paltry $27.70.

Also, says the platypus, someone out there should find the asshole who thought green ketchup was a good idea and string himherit up by...
Hold on.
I'll get back to you. I need to have a talk with this mouthy platypus.
