back to reality
late january in the north. time of dormancy and hunger for most critters. time of weary resignation for humans. most of my friends have fled or are fleeing to warmer climates. steve and i are both working on book deadlines. so we are here for the duration, putting in long solitary days on our manuscripts, and sitting beside the fire in the evenings. not a true hibernation, but close.

I listened to your talk today and it was wonderful,and inspirational. I lived in Stilllwater for several years and appreciate how you have found a great winter pastime and turned it into art.
