Life is good.

My back has been hurting, I was ill last week, and my job still isn't very fun.

But I'm about to sleep, wake up, and have a great weekend of hanging out and eating with lots of great people, and I'm very much looking forward to it. And two weekends after that, I'll be off to booksignings in RI. Things are going fairly well, I must admit. And as my gaming compatriots know, that says a lot.

Oh, for some reason my paper decided to run my column two days early this week, so if you like etymology, public transportation, or hitting things with hammers, check it out.
