A Gift of a Different Sort

It's taken me a while to find this out, and I wouldn't have known it if I hadn't done a vanity search on Amazon, but apparently my short story, "After This Life" was listed as an honorable mention in The Year's Best Science Fiction 26 edited by Gardner Dozois.

Um, wow. I ought to pay more attention, huh? :-)

Movies and TV

Last night, I hied myself to jackwilliambell's place. The plan was to have dinner together, watch TiVoed episodes of Mythbusters and Doctor Who and then head out to see Avatar.

I spent most of today getting little things done here and there, trying to prepare for New Year's Eve. The moon is gorgeous tonight. Closer to sunset, it was a large silvery coin shining through the fir tree branches. Now, it's a blurred silver presence behind hazy clouds. It's a blue moon tomorrow night--second full moon this month. Very cool indeed.
