contractual obligation post
I don’t really have anything of particular note to report. That is, other than my compulsion to continue to add new prose to this space at least every few days.
That isn’t to say that I haven’t been busy. It’s just that I’ve been busy with things like work and family and NaNoWriMo and reading through my pile of books from the library before they’re due back.
I suppose I should make mention of the fact that the home improvement project I mentioned briefly a few weeks ago has been completed. I am now the proud owner of nine new high-quality vinyl custom replacement windows, installed last week by Capital Remodeling. They look quite nice; certainly better than the old, drafty wooden single pane windows with ratty screens they replaced. With luck, they’ll reduce my heating bills a bit, and qualify for an energy efficiency tax credit.
Otherwise, there’s not much to report. I spent a little more time with the new computer, which is, thus far, earning its keep (although a couple of my old games don’t seem to be compatible with Windows 7 – that’s okay, I bought some new games), and made a pretty tasty meatloaf the other day.
This weekend, I think I’m going to swing by the VA Comicon for an hour or two, if only to have celebrated Marvel artist Herb Trimpe sign my copy of GI:Joe #1; I might as well have the penciller’s signature as well as the writer’s – I had the honor of procuring Larry Hama’s signature on the cover last year.
Oh well, I guess that’s a couple of things to report.
