Just Stopping By

On one hand I feel bad not blogging more often, since one of my favorite authors (Laurell K. Hamilton) does so nearly daily - and tweets as well - I don't do Twitter yet, and on the other hand I don't, since my other favorite author (Diana Gabaldon) hasn't posted on her blog since April 19th. It's a moderate summer day here in the Sacramento area, merely mid-90s in sunny Rocklin. The muse is on vacation I'm thinking - or at least is making me really work for any inspiration. I've got prompt duty on CHPercolators (a Yahoo group) starting the 26th, and I'm collecting those as I go during the month. I sort of started on something to go with The First Line's prompt for the upcoming contest yesterday, but it doesn't feel right...don't know if I'll do anything with it or not. Sigh...at least I got to watch Barry Manilow on A Capitol Fourth last night on our local PBS station. And it was fitting to have Jimmy Smits as the MC, with his stint on West Wing and all!
