In record time, I just got a care package from home. It was mailed on the 13th and arrived here a mere two weeks later. Jodi is sitting on the couch behind me reading the Willamette Week. People are scrabbling to try the Reeds Ginger Chews and the Tofurkey Jurky. I also have some fabulous art featuring Sharks, Fish and Turtles which is sort of Warholian. As well as a piece titled Dog run with Birds.

And The First Line, which contains my second published short story, The Shocking Affair of the Dutch Steamship Friesland.
