A Year in Pictures – Crouching Gargoyle

My trip to England and France last fall was the Trip of Gargoyles. (I’m only sad that the towers of Notre Dame were closed by a strike while we were in Paris, robbing me of a chance to photograph the gargoyles there.) This one is on the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Oxford, and seems to have something very important to say . . . .

Back on the horse

Got started again on Chains and Memory last night. I wasn’t sure I’d recovered enough brain yet (between jet lag and the anaesthesia, I’ve been half-zombified for days; I spent most of Saturday alternating half-hour naps with an hour or so of wakefulness), but I decided to put my butt in the chair and see what happened. What happened was 1K of words, so I got to pat myself on the back for that and declare that I am officially Back to Work.

Of course, one day of writing does not actually Back to Work make. It’s a nice start, though, and it was actually rather pleasant to feel like I’m starting to recover. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have another 1K to crank out . . .
