3 February 2005: Soothing myself

Some days, the best way I can let everybody in the family know I still live is to post old cat photos. I find this soothing. I hope you do, too.

Those of you who know a bit about magazine publishing know this is the time of year I start thinking about writing a Christmas story. So today's links are in the "possible inspiration" category. You may find these weird but I don't know as I've ever seen a Christmas story (sf or otherwise) that worked any of these traditional Christmas stand-bys. Okay, so the Yule Cat is traditional to Iceland---but that makes it all the more interesting, right?

Off-site Onspiration:

I could have sworn that Dr. Menlo sent me to The Secret Life of Mistletoe but I can't find that link in his archives. I must be having yet another Lyme-fried moment. Well, hey, if you're over 18 and you're not surfing from work and, most importantly, you don't mind nudie cuties, go visit Dr. Menlo, anyhow.
