Behold! it's Mr Mole, the happy drilling machine.

My brother came by tonight as a surprise visit! (he was interviewing up her for a job, and missed the last bus home.... rode his bike a few miles to here.) We got to gab for a bit before his taxi arrived. It's a shame he's allergic to Newt, as the cat loves him to pieces... loves to snuggle up to him, and headbutt. I'm really looking forward to getting together with him on Wednesday... we're going to have a good time.

Tomorrow... Dan. Morning. bright and early, about 9 am, everyone else is in bedski, so I think I'm going to grab a nice book, and curl up into the beddles.

Tax tip for writers: This could save you a bundle. Since the IRS allows you to deduct expenses incurred while writing a book, make your next one an autobiographical novel. By all rights, you should be able to deduct your living, travel, and entertainment expenses going right back to the day of your birth.
