As is this blog’s tradition, kicking off the new year with a picture of the first coffee of 2013 and wishing that the reflection were better looking than the year before (spoiler alert:  it ain’t).

Most mornings at the pool this summer it’s been myself, a litany of elderly people, and swim lessons for kids. I’ve never had trouble getting my own lane. Then the Olympics start and suddenly every asshole with a pair of goggles decides now is a good time to get into swim shape.

I had this horrid idea the other day of some unlikely* future world where I’m in a meeting with my publisher describing how I want my next novel, my twelfth or whatever, printed in hardcopy on actual paper. The publisher says ‘Really? Paper? But that’s so retro.’

*The ‘unlikely’ modifier is predicated on my ever being a published writer (a successful one to boot), not on the print industry’s death rattle.
