Strange but true: I'm buying a sandwich for lunch and the woman behind the register sees my Madison Blues Festival T-Shirt. It turns out that she's friends with the mother of Susan Tedeschi, and Tedeschi stays with her whenever she's in town. Small world.

Still having fun with my camera. Of course it's been easy to mess around taking pictures of plants and line and texture and shape and form--now I need to start taking pictures of people.

And I've been kicked by the wind,
robbed by the sleet,
had my head stove in but I'm still on my feet,
and I'm still...

That site led me to the page of the site designer, The Chopping Block (whom I remember doing cover work for us back in my Tor days). I would like to nominate them for Best. Company. Theme. Evar.
