Merry Christmas, all! This year we'll be staying home at Christmas, with relatives over for New Year's. I've got today off, so I'll be busily wrapping presents and generally taking it easy.

I haven't made much progress on the story editing I'd planned for December, unfortunately. Since I don't go back to work until early January I'm hoping I'll get motivated and get some of this stuff off my plate in time for 2006.

At last count I had made 52 story submissions this year--which is nearly double last year's tally--and I'm inching ever closer to the 100 total subs mark. Looks like I only need 6 more to get there. With a bit of elbow grease, maybe I can make the century this year. There's still time!
