Publication time

I’m pleased to announce that through the lovely Helium.com website I’ve just sold my first article to Name.com. I’ve been published in the past, both online and offline (see Sentinel Poetry for examples) but this is the first time I’ve had the privilege of being paid for my work. So I’m feeling pretty happy about it, even if the amounts of money involved at this point are rather small. Hurrah.

It’s that time of the year again when I leave my hermitage and go and and brave the dangerous world of socialising once more (and with my friends it is dangerous!). So duly I will be wrapping myself in my winter furs, trimming my wild beard, and donning my strap on liver protector and going out to see people and be seen by people. First off is coffee with my exotic friend CJ who is just home from ‘Nam, then a night at Em’s new flat in the equally exotic Essex, then a night out in Harps and later to the casino for Dom’s quarter century celebrations, and then another night in Harps to see all the people I’ve missed the night before. Then off to Rachel’s after Christmas for a week. Somehow I’m fitting my entire year’s socialising into this one weekend. It’s going to be messy. And sticky. But mostly messy.

Bushism of the Day:

“Let me tell you my thoughts about tax relief. When your economy is kind of ooching along, it’s important to let people have more of their own money.” —George W. Bush, Boston, Oct. 4, 2002
