Florida beautiful. Two days swimming in the ocean. Haven't done that in a long, long time. Flew back Thursday (Thanksgiving), but nearly hung up by a cold front with snow. Woke the following day to learn a gunman had shot more than ten people, then holed up in Planned Parenthood a few miles away. Standoff went on until 9:00-something that evening, marring an otherwise quiet holiday. Second wild shooting here in two months.
Copies of the New Guard arrived today. My story "Requiem for a Bantamweight," was one of the featured pieces. A finalist in the Machigonne Fiction Prize contest. Nice to see it in print.
Looking forward to getting back into some sort of groove. Soon.
