Colder here this morning than in Halifax, NS, by a few degrees at least. I’m not sure I would have noticed if they weren’t making such a huge fuss about it on the TV and in the newspapers. Sure, it’s brisk out there, but I’ve seen far worse. Of course, construction around here isn’t designed for anything like this, so some people probably do run the risk of having frozen pipes, especially if the houses are empty. The biggest impact on us will be the natural gas bill next month, I suspect.
I finished Sleepless by Charlie Huston yesterday and will write up my review in the coming days. In addition to the two books en route to me that I mentioned yesterday, I also have the new Dan Simmons heading my way. First one to the front doorstep wins the race.
Watched the first half of the BCS game last night while working on a jigsaw puzzle. Texas had a tough go of it from the start, and goofy little mis-haps like that bobbled toss/pass in the closing seconds of the half didn’t help. I read this morning that they came back to within 3 points but couldn’t quite manage a comeback.
This morning I got the green light on a short story I’ve been revising with an editor of a forthcoming project. I hope to have a new version of another story ready for him by the end of the weekend as time is running short.
