Andy the Greyhound's first time in the snow

We have two retired racing greyhounds -- Andy and Gracie. Gracie is 7 years old and has been off the race track long enough to have seen snow. Andy (race name: Nimble Andy) just came off the track in 2007. As a southern Florida boy (he raced at the Melbourne, FL, track) he'd never played in snow before. He loved it! Here are two short videos Derek took of Andy running around the yard like a lunatic (we say he's 4 years old going on 2). In both videos, he's trying to get either Gracie or Lucy to run with him. He and Gracie did run together, but they were moving so fast that Derek couldn't get it on camera.

On Monday, I'll annouce the winner of the "Name that Bordello" contest. Thank you to all of you who entered. You all have made it incredibly tough for me to choose. Great names!

And beginning next week, I'll start answering some of your recent questions: How many agents did I query?, Did I sleep the night I got an agent and/or when I got an offer to publish MLTF?, And when did I tell my co-workers about my "second job"? How did I come up with the character of Talon?, How did I come up with my book titles?

The answers to these and more starting next week.

"The Cold" Report: I slept for 12 hours last night (usually I only sleep for 7). So apparently I needed the extra rest. I'm not feeling any better, but I'm not any worse. Small victory, but hey, I'll take it. ; )

Have a great weekend!
