Heart Break
Because of the weather they’ve canceled all incoming flights. My brother can’t get home for Christmas and it’s breaking Mom’s heart. Not only does he only come home once a year but having him here for the holidays means something to her.

Book Reviews
The servers for World of Warcraft are down *pout* so you get stuck with the reviews of books I read before I got “the game” (so addicted).
- The Eyre Affair
- It took me a while to finish because I kept getting interrupted by the weird pacing. It was boring, then fast-moving, then boring again. Strange.
- Industrial Magic
- it’s the sequal to Dime-Store Magic. I wasn’t much impressed with the first one but it had an interesting base. The second is much better, working the universe into the plot. Might be good for Merry fans.
- The Fairy Godmother
- Great fantasy from a new prospective.
- Death in a White Tie
- Don’t know where this one came from. For those who know nothing of mysteries, Ngaio Marsh was one of the Grand Dames of the genre. I’ve never read her stuff before, just never got around to it. It was cool. I like the setting (1920’s?) but her characters weren’t as interesting as Agatha Christie’s. She’s going on my airplane reading list

White Christmas
We haven’t had white stuff on the ground at Christmas in 20 years. When I went out to take pictures there was a heater in front of the door because it was literally frozen shut.
The antlers are from Lois.

The Devil Must be Ice-Skating
Not only is it snowing before Christmas, UT closed due to inclement weather.

Weekend plans
I meant to spend the weekend on on WoW. Instead I wound up wrapping Christmas presents. The whole weekend. On the one hand, it’s a big chore mostly done and they make pretty decorations. On the other, I want my WoW time back.

Seventh Sanctum
Here you’ll find tools for writers, gamers, and artists; randomly assembling names, concepts, and more for when you need inspiration, or just a bit of amusement.
Decent start when you get stuck.
