Oh, let's see...

1.  Steve got jealous of all of Socks' Lightning Visits to the vet, so there was nothing for it but that he should have a Lightning Visit to the doctor today.  Where it was discovered that he has arrived home from Boskone with acute bronchitis.  Medications have been prescribed.  Rest has been prescribed.  Below, a picture of Steve resting, at Socks' insistence.

2. I have an appointment with the vampires tomorrow morning.  After which I suspect I will be stopping at the grocery store because...

3. Winter storm warning for Waterville and environs, starting Wednesday. Weatherbeans at the moment calling for another 8-12 inches.  Man, I'm going to have upper arms to die for.

4.  I am not yet half-way through the galleys of Liaden Universe® Constellation Volume One.

5.  I provide a link to an article interesting not so much for the description of a kerfuffle in an online forum, but for the discussion of "nice," and how the concept of same is used as a bullying tactic, a topic of some interest to me.  Since, as advertised elsewhere and often, I am so not nice...

Thanks for the link to the library blog. Nice to find another good read. As for "nice". Wow. She is right on. One freeing aspect of old age is that I find it less necessary- though one still may catch more flies with honey. When honey fails- what's to lose? :) Being "nice" is used to the same effect and purpose as bustles, high heels, and long dresses. Makes us better prey, hobbles us, makes us more afraid. It will be a long hard slog ladies. I hope the young ones are weaponed up for it. The rest of the world often doesn't even know they have a right to fight. :(
