Well, not exactly. But I am now a Vice President. Sure, it’s only for the Midwest Chapter of the Mystery Writers of America, but that’s still pretty cool (I was the only candidate, and they had blackmail information to make me run BUT STILL…)

I especially hate, hate, hate automated telephone systems. All they’re designed to do is take away jobs from real people. When they don’t work, they add frustration to the whole process. It took me a half hour to order movie tickets over the phone for NO GOOD REASON.

New COTR page is up. I’m posting remotely so I don’t have a direct link.
Alas, out little iMac is on it’s last leg – the screen has wavy blue lines across it so that’s finally going. I’m going to do a backup, then figure out our options.
