13/13/Cat Blogging

     Luckily, I don't have triskaidekaphobia, or a fear of the number 13. Otherwise, this 13th day in the 13th year of this century would paralyze me with an additional phobia that no one in these scary times doesn't need. There are enough real things in this world, especially in this country, to fear without having to succumb to an irrational, numerology-based phobia to add to the pile.
     For his part, Popeye's only fears, it seems, is approaching storms that never affect him and the little bare circular spot in his dry food dish that occasionally appears.
     Meanwhile, I'm still working furiously on TATTERDEMALION, which has a snazzy new cover that I'll be posting soon. So if anyone has any ideas for a post and doesn't mind doing a bit of leg work, email me or leave a link in the comment section. My time these days is spent hunting for a job, drafting chapters and doing research on a variety of topics.
