Five Things Make a Post

[hrj]

1. Massive doses of sleep seem to have mostly taken care of my cold. All that remains is general housecleaning on the various mucous membranes.

2. However, no jolly family get-together being complete without vomiting and emergency room visits, cryptocosm has embraced a stomach bug (or possibly food poisoning). No one else is yet affected except tangentially.

3. Other than a few drifting flakes yesterday afternoon, my promised snowfall is yet to appear. There's enough on the ground that I may take the skis over to Colby today anyway and see what the trails look like. I'd hate to have paid the extra luggage fee and then not use them.

4. Making significant progress on the first editorial pass through Part I of the novel. Mostly doing the naming thing and cleaning up a few details and transitions. The environment is too distracting for serious fresh composition.

5. Have made some initial stabs at the Xmas shopping problem, none of which involve running around to stores today.

I beg to differ - I was rejecting that bug (or whatever) by pretty much every available means short of surgical excision.
