noveling etc.

I've been spending the evening working on the Jo book. Chapter 18 is getting close to done. Also I've been reading The Third Child by Marge Piercy. I'm a big fan of all her 1970s-80s novels, but her later novels left me so cold, I didn't bother with the last couple. Turns out that this one (so far, anyway) is a return to form of sorts: a juicy political novel about the college-age daughter of a Republican senator and his ambitious wife.

The weather's cooled off again in LA, with rain last night. I want snow!

Today is the one-year anniversary of the death of the Garage Kitty. I still miss her a lot, and think about her most days, especially when I'm in the garage.
