Vacation in WI

Our family vacation is approaching quickly! We are all headed to Door County, WI this year for a full week. Here's hoping for good weather and good times. We rented a 5 bedroom house for the week, right on Green Bay. At least we know the lake won't drain like it did last year. We rented a house on Lake Delton, just outside the Wis. Dells. About a month (I think) before we were scheduled to go, floods washed away the earthen dam that created the lake and caused it to drain. There are like 10,000 lakes in WI and we pick a) a man-made one; and b) one that drains. We had a great time nonetheless.

The Waiting is Killing Me!

I am almost at the six-month wait point with the publisher. This can only mean good news right? I am very anxious, but am trying to be patient. Murder in Town Hall is coming together conceptually, though I am still trying to work out a plot snag. Eric scored some OT and I bought myself a netbook, which is the coolest thing under 3 pounds I have seen lately. It does basic web surfing and allows me to write anywhere.
