I am sorry to tell you all that I need to take a brief hiatus from posting. My father’s funeral was yesterday, and between that and the holidays, I don’t expect to have time to post until some time in January.

Have a good holiday season, wherever you are and whatever you celebrate, and I will see you in a couple of weeks.

    Condolences.

    This place is a great writing resource, and even what we have already is much more than I’d pester someone to provide. Self-maintenance comes before new content.

    Thank you for the many fine posts and even more excellent novels over the years. I look forward to reading more from you whenever you are ready to return.

    Pat,

    Joy Beeson would like a copy of Cinderella at the prom for reposting to RASFC. There are only about ten or fifteen people left, but I think there’s an urge to try again. Very stubborn people.

    Darn. I meant to condole. I lost my Dad in September. It’s been a hard year, and while I can’t feel your pain, I deeply understand a very similar one.
