New Year

Well, blog, it's a new year.  I made pretty standard resolutions: write more, weigh less and get my black ass to Dublin.  I've never flow across the pond, and a big, gorgeous city like Dublin will probably be an awesome start.  I also kinda want to take my sister's dog on a vacation.  Like to a ranch or something so she can run around.  She doesn't get much chance to run around where she is.  For that matter, I don't get much chance to run around being in a city, so it'd be as much for me as her.  I'll have to see if I can work that out.

Getting back into the grind is tough after the holidays. I had forgotten that.  I think I forget every year.  I'm looking forward to Spring when everything is both winding down and ramping up again.  Also Spring will bring the second half of my odyssey, wherein I can experience the pleasure of other people to a full extent again.

The east coast, where I spent my holiday, was as nice as I remembered it.  It snowed on Christmas day in Atlanta.  In Atlanta!  Thanks, El Nino.  It was just enough to cover everything in white, but not enough to inconvenience my travel too much.  A lot of people got stuck in airports for a while, but I managed to beat the weather.  It isn't to say the experience was without convenience, though.  My bag got delayed overnight and came in the next morning on the only flight that wasn't grounded by weather.  Lucky me!  I just was without my various sundries for a few hours.

My book, When Heaven Calls, should be re-available on Amazon quite soon, I am link-imaging it.  We ran out of the first batch so got a new one cooked up.  I'm ghostwriting a piece right now and working on a sequel to WHC as well.  It's slow going with work and life, but as I said, resolution to get more writing in.

Hope you holidays weren't a hassle, world, and I'll talk more in the new year!
