The kids are back at school, Marianne is out shopping, and I’m having a Firebirds morning. I’m reading the upcoming Viking/Firebirds anthology The Coyote Road: Trickster Tales, faithfully keeping my place using a Firebirds bookmark that came in the latest issue of Realms of Fantasy, while avoiding doing the editing/rewriting necessary to complete the introduction for my own Firebirds anthology, The Starry Rift, or working on the proposal for next one. The only thing I’m missing is Sharyn, who it’d be fun to talk to about all of this stuff. Manhattan later this year, though.
