Oh, the places I will go!

Just a quick update on some future travel plans --- next weekend I'll be visiting with relatives down by Cincinnati. The route I take will be through Pennsylvania (which I have never before visited), but I am still trying to decide how to get there and what I will do en route. Next month I will likely be attending a writer's conference in NYC. And I'm getting ready to move in May.

Yes, I've been meaning to get the word out on my new blog sooner, but life just keeps me busy busy busy. Mosy of my busy-ness comes from work; we are getting more and more of it coming in. My employer is evidently pleased with my performance; my most recent paycheck shows that I got a raise! It isn't much, and I'm sure that New York State will confiscate most of it somehow (which reminds me, I still have to do my taxes -- ugh!) but it is nice to know that my performance has been evaluated and found worthy of the increase in pay. I am also keeping busy with writing my book and trying to fit more reading into my schedule, which seems increasingly harder to do. But I soldier on nonetheless.

Hopefully most of you my friends will find your way here soon. Keep checking back for updates!
