We'll have Ellen Datlow in town for the weekend and it's almost upon us. I've read all the stories (thirteen, not counting mine) and I'm still writing up the critiques.

I'll try to give reports during the weekend. Alas, it's my work weekend and I have to work four hours each morning before workshops. So busy-busy-busy but I'l try to update.

Meanwhile, here's a picture I've been meaning to post. It's a picture of the view outside our bedroom window. That's Spencer's Butte you're looking at. It's one of my favorite subjects for pictures, during various seasons and lighting.
