Snap, jack!
So, while I was in San Antonio on Friday, I went rollerskating with Dre and T-dawg. Being more than a little rusty, I fell. Twice.

New Witches Story: “Esteemed Relations”
“Esteemed Relations” is the fifth piece of the Witches of Ming Ung tale: “Did you really need to wear that?” Hardi whispered to Robert. “You look like a clown.” Robert straightened his lavender shirt. “I, my dear, am a peacock in a field of pigeons.” One of the soldiers behind him snorted a laugh. Robert shot him a look, but continued, “I know how station ladies are. I have to stand out from these military types, or I’ll never get… noticed.” Hardi rolled her eyes and eyed his luggage dubiously as they moved forward in line. She refused to ask what was in the five bags, since the answer might…
