woo hoo!

Congratulations are in order for my friend Hope who's just won an Eisner Award for her graphic novel Gray Horses! I highly recommend checking out both Gray Horses and her first book, Salamander Dream. Perhaps you may have also noticed her piece in the New York Times Op-Ed section this past Wednesday...


we've been a little a.w.o.l lately because we had cynthia and leland visiting for a while, then some frantic house cleaning and laundering due to an unpleasant amount of fleas and fear of reoccurring ringworm, and after that i have no idea where we've been. halley's coming out to visit monday night and will be here for a week...and half? or something? and the entire time she's here my co-worker, emily, is out of town and graciously letting me borrow her fancy 2007 prius. which couldn't have happened at a more perfect time because the brakes on liz's car need fixing and the rabbit is still on vacation.

i have to say, i'm very proud of george for making a post on the blog. i've urged and proded and asked and bribed him to do it in the past but he just wasn't interested. i guess all it took was some killin'.
