My monthly post is up at SFNovelists.

My latest post, about the ruin that is my first drafts, is up at SFNovelists.

Here.

Today's op ed piece is classic Krugman. I completely agree with his thesis, but once again he undercuts his own arguments by failing to tell the whole story. He quotes the $8.7 BN price tag to build the tunnel, but that's not why Gov. Christie ended the program. He ended it because NJ's accountants' current estimate for the cost is $11BN, and they expect it to probably rise to $14BN by the time it's done.

Krugman ALWAYS cherrypicks his facts.

Only made it through 28 minutes, so I can't really comment on what it's about. But I will ask the question - do wealthy people who live in LA have any contact with the rest of the world at all?

8 pounds, 2 ounces. He and Mom are doing great.

He's beautiful.

The Great Divergence, as Krugman calls it.

Boys Don't Read.

Thanks to the miracle of remainders, I have some complete sets of the Stoneways Trilogy that I'd like to give away to libraries. If interested, let me know. I'll autograph if desired, and ship. To get a set for your favorite library, ask the library if they'd like one, then let me know. I'll get in touch with the library and send them off.

I'll be selling sets cheap, too, but that's another post.

Good flick. A different kind of woman's movie. It is very depressing, and may put some viewers off, but let me just say one thing. I don't like depressing movies.
