same as the old blog . . .

Cindy's got me up and running again, but this after a hectic couple of days--a computer crash and an iPod crash.  So I have a new computer and I can't use Word Perfect anymore, so I bought a book explaining Word, and I lost 4000 songs on the iPod, but Bruce is coming by this week to download his music onto my computer, and I'll be off and running pretty soon.  It'll be slow going.  Lost all the archives to the old blog.  While this chaos was going on, I was grading my classes and copyediting the new novel, Requiem, Mass.  Finished it all today and even did some online shopping for Christmas.

Hey John Dufresne!
I, for one, can not WAIT for the new novel. I'm still working on Johnny Too Bad, because I've limited myself to only one story every 3 months. I know you write slow (and it works!), and I hate the thought of not having any fresh Dufresne to read, thus my Dufresne Diet.
Now, when the new novel comes out I'll probably finish it in one sitting.
Read ya later!

Congratulations on getting up so fast. This is different.

I think now I get A Feed, or a Feed as a Read, or maybe it means I have to buy your family breakfast. The terms I agreed to were unclear, but what the hey. Ginger bagels with hazelnut cream cheese at Panera Bread.

The Annotated Lolita? Is that like the Illustrated Gentleman's Companion?
