Everyone join me, please

...in wishing Kennebec Mozart, pictured above, a very happy eleventh birthday!

Snow day, not so much

Mozart thanks everyone for their good wishes! He's now sleeping off the excesses of the day in his favorite corner of my office.

The snowstorm -- yep, the weatherbeans are still calling for one -- now looks as if it may arrive in time to snow me out, which is not a plan that finds favor with any of the residents of the Cat Farm. I'm going to have to keep a close eye on conditions tomorrow -- difficult from a third story office -- and hope to leave work while the roads are still passable. Always assuming that the storm doesn't vanish entirely on the overnight.

As relaxation from our labors, we've been watching Avatar, and have gotten through Book Two: Earth, Volume Three. I've been enjoying myself immensely, but I must say that the last chapter in Volume Three contains what appears to me to be a Serious Storytelling Misstep. I will of course need to wait until All is Revealed, but at the moment, this apparent error bothers me quite a bit.

Not much to report today. Type, type, type. Later, rinse, repeat.

I was saddened to read today in another forum that a reader expects nothing surprising from Mouse and Dragon. Makes me wonder why I'm bothering, so it does. Oh, wait. Contract. Delivery money. Also? I'm having fun, which must, after all, count for something.

Progress on Mouse and Dragon:

26,832 / 100,000 (26.8%)

...and that breaks me some hunnert pages.
