An important South Florida announcement:
EGGNOG IS HERE! -
Doranna Durgin is being reasonable; Fitzhenry & Whiteside are not.
Read the whole story here.

Except this sounds at the beginning like a reasonable small publishing house, where a lot of pros are going nowadays. You have to wonder what's in it for them.

I missed Brianna's birthday!
I missed the Autumnal Equinox, too. And Jason Carter's birthday, and a few other notables.
