I love these days between spring and summer, when going outdoors is as easy as slipping on a pair of sandals and making sure you have your key, and people's gardens are full to bursting.  I've had a walk.  I'm sipping green tea.  I've read a bit more in Takayuki Tatsumi's Full Metal Apache which he generously sent me a copy of a few months ago (the reading list his book is generating for me has grown).  And I've committed spontaneous fiction; 200+ words of something that just showed up, unrelated to anything on which I'm currently working.  I've created a new folder for it on my computer.  I'll add to it as I figure out what it is.

And now, back to novel-in-progress T'aint and to reading the work of the people I'm mentoring.  Good morning!
