back in the saddle -- sort of
Hurts neck to type (chair needs to be higher? New sling? Working my wings?), but I'm back to some editing and actual reading. Slow, mind scattered, but -- all very interesting. Amazing the way the body heals.

Reading the new Tim Powers novel on kindle. You devil, you.
Anyway, thinking Stephen is right. Lighten the darkness of the Creator. :)
