Welcome Back

I actually added so many items over the holiday weekend that I feel like taking today off…but I wanted to make sure any of you readers who might be romance fans heard about the charity raffle at Romantic Designs. If you donate $2 or more to the American Red Cross through their Amazon paybox, you could win signed copies of all sorts of romance and chick-lit fiction.

Also, it’s worth noting that after one of this weekend’s posts openly questioned the appointment of James Lee Witt to head Louisiana’s recovery efforts, given that his consultancy was named as a contributor to last year’s “Catastrophic Plan for Southeast Louisiana” by the company hired by FEMA to create it, Witt’s office set me straight, along with several other bloggers cc’ed on the letter. Turns out the company only used Witt’s name to get the job…so now he gets to go in and clean up after their colossal screwup.

Finally, a break from all that: Professor Barnhardt’s Journal asked a number of writers to identify their favorite word. This may be the only time you ever see me sharing media space with the likes of Marty Beckermann, Ned Vizzini, Jonathan Lethem and Keith Olbermann.
