I did get up and do my workout this morning at 5:15 a.m. Cardio and abs. Bleargh.

Cats are Democrats, Dogs are Republicans

This cartoon ran in the Star Tribune yesterday. Rather vulgar, but very funny.

I'm allergic to both dogs and cats. Perhaps in an oblique way, that makes me an

Glare report 10/27/04: Research Woot! Rolf's backstory

I found out a Cool Thing today reading Icy Pleasures which, like the fish in the ice block, gives me the feeling that I am onto something real, something true. Something that will resonate, will give me something meaty to chew on, thematically. It has to do with the stories surrounding the first ice palaces. I discovered an earlier story than the one that I knew, a much more sinister story that perhaps changes things. It certainly gives the events of my book more gravitas. (Anyway, I hope it does.)
