I don't care what the ground hog saw!

It's still winter, back to bed with you, and don't forget lots and lots of good books, and cocoa, and maybe a cat...

Go back to bed (with a book!)

The title says it all folks, it's winter and hibernation season is in full swing, make the best of it!

Of warmth and bookishness

What is better than curling up with a good book and a great cup of cocoa on a frozen night of snow and wind?  Nothing, so get busy!

"Yea, and a case to put it into"

I love 'Much Ado About Nothing,' Shakespeare has so much fun with the banter between the various enamored couples and those watching their antics that I truly do envy him.  While Claudio waxes poetic upon his chosen lady, calling her such a wondrous jewel the world can hardly contain it, the unimpressed Benedict adds that not only could the world handle such a wonder but could also provide a convenient box to boot.  Sometimes I feel like the obsessed Claudio about my writing, you know how overly sentimental dog owners and parents of small children get, writers are no different (not that we very often admit as much, even to ourselves) but happily most of the time I'm of the practical Benedict's sentiments on this matter.  Some people have to jog, I write, it's just wired into me, and whether it's worth publishing or not, who knows?  But in this day and age, that 'case to put it into' is accessible (for better or worse) to nearly everyone so why not?  And if you can't stand the flood of modern works churning out of the ebook tsunami, there's always the Bard and the Classics to fall back upon.  Whatever your preference, enjoy a good read!
