   Nothing much. About to mail off boxes of books to friends of mine near and far. Celebrating Holy Week still, but relieved that I can now eat meat again, as rabbit food doesn’t appeal to me at all. Finally reading [i]The Last Unicorn[/i]. Oh, and idly pondering what would happen if Dino Buzzati and Neil Gaiman were crossed, what would be the literary offspring?

   That offspring would probably wind up like Jeff Goldblum in The Fly 2.

   You mean it’d be a crappy sequel that would depend upon the special effects more than character development?

   No, I mean I don’t see them meshing well.

   Ah, I suppose you’re right, although I suspect that idle thought of mine comes in part from reading all those silly comparison points in reviews, saying Author X is like the offspring of Authors Y and Z. Of course, now I wonder what the literary offspring of The Eye of Argon and Eragon would be like…

   Reading books and right now I’m logging off the social media thing so I can get some actual writing done…

   Could have been worse. You could have been arm wrestling… at Chuck E. Cheese.
