Dear Friends: I've been having a massively fun time blogging like hell these past few weeks. It feels like old times. However, I now have to go (kicking and screaming) back to work for a bit, to put finishing touches on Storm World. The idea is to be at least mostly done with various editing minutiae before I ship off to San Francisco on Thursday. So, I'm declaring blog hiatus for a brief few days, much as I hate doing it...but I'll be back soon. I hope to blog from San Francisco and Chicago, actually, if I can. Wish me luck....
