    Hi folks. Hi boss. Don't worry - I'm fine. I was quiet because there weren't many updates last weekend and it seemed daft to chat and have the chat run three times the length of the update *g* - which of course is exactly what I'm doing this week. We have torrential rain - coming down in stair-rods it is - and it's 12c - twelve!! Did somebody forget to tell the weather gods that it was summer?? OK - on with the update - such as it is.

  • Hi all. It's Friday so it is I, once again. At least, this week. Next week at this time I'll be heading for Philadelphia for the National Education Association Representative Assembly. The teacher's union always has its annual meeting the week of July 4th. I'm told we are the largest democratic organization in the nation. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing some of the sites from our nation's beginnings when I'm not "on the job" so to speak. If you're not traveling, or in school like Heartbrkn, perhaps you'd like to do some reading. Here's the latest.

    And, you never know. Once I'm back, and finished packing for the move to the new house, I just may do the updates twice a week. As Heartbrkn said, we will see!

    I've been having terrible laptop problems lately - the damn' thing has worked for about 20 minutes in the last 2 weeks. If I'm really lucky it'll hold out long enough to update tonight. Last night I recommended a short story. Now I'm not sure I'm really supposed to do that. I probably should be more impartial - but hell - I'm nothing if not opinionated!! We list a vast number of amazing stories and talented bards here, Surely I'm allowed some favourites?? *g*. So tonight I'm doing it again. There's a cracking new story from an incredible writer. Andi M. Definitely top of my favourites list. Talented doesn't begin to cover it. Well written, certainly. And every single one of this author's stories have kept me reading for the story - not just to find out what happens but to appreciate the way it happens and the craft that went into making it happen. It so nice to read such a well written tale. So yep - I'm recommending AndiM's stories.
