As I type this, one of my aunts (who is also my Godmother) is in hospice care. Everyone knows, including her doctors, that she won't get better. It's a question of when, not if. It is as we feared: the cancerous tumor they had to remove from her brain didn't get her, but the side effects of the post-op chemo/radiation did.

Sunset's enjoying that new ship smell on the US debut of the brand new Sky Princess!

No evil monsters expected either!

/insert obvious Sunset shipping pun here

Greetings from Key West, Florida. Where the sunsets do indeed shimmer. ;)

For those who celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving!

Also some good news:

1. New story is up today, titled "Changing of the Guard". Please give it a try!

2. I just received word that my recent story "In and Out of Phase" was accepted to EQD!

We're on the road for the holiday, so have a great one!

Or, put a bit more sarcastically: I've completed my 37th orbit around Celestia.

And considering I opened my account here in June 2013, I've been on here a bit past six years now. That's amazing to me. I've spent the better part of a decade here with you good folks. And frankly, I wouldn't trade any of it.

Thanks as always for the continued support and readership. It means a lot to me. Here's to another year!

TMW you realize you just used a Agile "buzzword" in the title of your horse blog post

Bad work-related jokes aside: To borrow from the spirit of Winston's recent blog, it's going to take me some time to write-up my Brony-Con experience. That is already underway, but rest assured I'll get it done soon.
