A short long week

How can a four-day week have felt so long?

It’s over at least, and the weekend is here. Rumor is, we’re going to get a few inches of snow before the weekend’s out, but it remains to be seen. Aside from a flurry every now and then, we haven’t had any snow here since October. A very marked contrast to last year, I’ll say that much.

No big plans for the weekend. Some writing, reading some Kaleidotrope slush, most likely. By the way, if you haven’t yet read any of the stories or poems in this month’s issue, now would be a great time. And I’d love if more people would join up and post in the forums what they thought of the issue, good and bad.

Okay, I think I’m going to fall asleep now. It seems like the only sensible thing to do.
