Note to self:

Do not pick a collection of short stories for the next Big Read.

Due to the Cold of Death*, I lost momentum.  And then I just fell right off the train.

That's a ridiculously mixed metaphor, but I've never been any good at metaphors.

Anyway, huge apologies to Patti, Heidi, Gail, and anyone else who was reading along.  I'll do better next time.
