THANK YOU TO GLENN FOR LETTING ME DRIVE THE BIG BLOG FOR A WHILE:  Just back from Anomaly con in Denver, exhausted as always after a con, and feeling guilty we didn’t take a camera for pictures and thus missed posting shots of the mechanical parrot on someone’s shoulder.  Ah well.  Thank you again to the Professor for letting me post here this week.  Most of the time you can find me at According To Hoyt.  I’m also doing a regular column on writing Tuesday afternoons over at PJ Lifestyle.
