World's oldest tree ... looks kinda familiar

Scientists discover the world's oldest tree in Sweden. I had to giggle at that because it looks so much like the poor scrawny little trees that we have around here. I mean that with all possible affection, but, well ...




Plus another picture, since I haven't really been posting pictures lately. Is editing the rough draft of a story any less painful with colorful markers?



The story in question is an original novella that I wrote this spring. Current task: trying to cut out the deadwood and force the rest of it to make sense.

On Friday I dropped by old college buddy Jamie Smith's signing for his latest books at Gulliver's (local indie book store). It was nice to see Jamie again -- I've been so out of touch with, well, everybody, and I've been feeling it lately for some reason.

Well, you can still get the books there. :D

My standard routine these days is: "Oh hey, that sounds really cool! -- oh crap, it was last month!"
