Happy New Year! (fanservice for the animal lovers)

[truepenny]

The take-home lesson from 2010 is: don't break your ankle.

Other than that, I'n not doing any kind of Year in Review post. Instead:


Milo, my five-year-old Holsteiner cross (he's half Holsteiner, a quarter Arabian, and a quarter Percheron), is a goofy soul. In evidence, I offer this exchange from last night, as I was untacking him:

MILO: Hey, what's that? Is it a cookie?
ME: It's a polo wrap. Purple, no less.
MILO: Is it tasty?
ME: Frankly, I imagine it tastes like a sweatsock.
MILO: Huh. Yeah, you're right. Totally sweatsock.
...
MILO: Hey, what's that?
ME: It's still a purple polo wrap.
MILO: It could be a cookie. Is it tasty?
ME: It's still gonna taste like a sweatsock, buddy.
MILO: Huh. Yeah, you're right. That's not tasty at all.
...
MILO: Hey, what's that?
ME: Purple polo wrap. Again.
MILO: Are you sure it's not a cookie?
ME: Sweatsock.
MILO: Oh, right. Where's the cookies, then?




I could not get all four cats into the frame at once, but I assure you they're all on the bed.



Left to right, that's the First Ninja, Catzilla, and the Second Ninja.

And off stage right, the Elder Saucepan does what he does best:




Happy New Year! Here's to 2011!

This will seem a bit random, but has anyone contacted you looking for copies of the Doctrine of Labyrinths? I'm about to move the the UK and trying to get rid of some of my books, and since the DoL is available on Kindle I thought I'd buy it on that and pass on the meatspace editions, if anyone was looking to buy. I have Melusine and the Virtu in paperback,and Mirador and Corambis in hardcover; the paperbacks are in "Good" condition (acto Amazon standards ('http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=1161242') ) and the hardcovers in "Very Good" condition.

There are always people looking, as far as I can tell. If you'd like, I can make a post giving people a heads up and telling them to contact you if interested.
