Happy birthday, Barbara!

And congratulations, indeed. Done, did you say?

As for me, I've actually been *gasp* writing! I've got a rough draft of the Faith and Jessup story. Key word is rough, but a semi-coherent draft. Here's another piece:

In this dream, Faith and Jessup are called on as namers. They wear special sashes and brightly colored hats. To warm up, they begin with rubber baby dolls -- Mimsy and Agnes and Dot. Sometimes they get the names wrong, and legs or arms or the little blinking eyelids fall off of the lifeless bodies. Jessup uses the tape, and Faith chews gumballs one after the other, sticking limbs back on with her sugary adhesive. The gathering crowd grows increasingly impatient with their mistakes. Jessup laces up his sneakers and prepares to run.
