Well, I went AWOL for most of the month of July. I do apologise for not following through on the JWP exchange - looks like it was a really good one, too.
I lost one of the horses in late June - Ariel, a mare that I bred and raised. She colicked with a twisted gut and there was nothing we could do. except send her to surgery, but since I didn't have a spare $20,000 (among other things) that wasn't an option. I was able to carry on for a few days, but then it just hit me like a ton of bricks and I spent most of July in a quivering mess. I'm mostly OK now, but it's still a wrench when I see her empty stall.
Anyway.
I wanted to spread the word that the
acd_holmesfest is about to start on DW. Signups are open RIGHT NOW through August 13th. I'm looking forward to a great round of classic Holmes fic. Please consider joining in. The 'fest has been on hiatus for the last year or so and this is our first edition on DW, but it's always been great fun with lots of wonderful fic and art, so c'mon over!
Whew! I thought I'd lost this post. DW does take some getting used to, but all is well.
