Buwwets

• Last week was pretty much a loss, energy-wise, and this week has not started so well either.  We're keeping busy around the house.  The granite countertop finally came in, so now the section of kitchen by the stove looks more or less like the rest of the kitchen.  So there's that.

• Christmas cards have been pouring in, along with prezzies from the family.  A couple boxes showed up from the new in-laws last night.  Mrs. D. and I each got to open one (not all the way, just to get the wrapped presents out), and I stowed the wrapped packages neatly under the tree.  I'm taking bets on how long the bows stay on, since under the tree is where Elvis and Tom like to wrestle, lie about, and gnaw on whatever they can find.

• Work has begun in earnest on Arrowflight Second Edition.  Deep7 fans have only been demanding it for about five years now, and I need to bolster the company bottom line with some new product.  Steve Hartley will be the go-to illustrator, and we've already been in Skype conference mode.  Next week will include a couple face-to-face art meetings.  I learned a lot on RADZ, and I intend to put that to work to benefit Arrowflight.  Happy with it so far.

• Although we managed to knock out most of our Christmas shopping last weekend, I still have a few more things to pick up, and some errands to run (including a Christmas Card drop at the post office).  Better hit that before the weather goes all wonky again.
  

That's all I got.
