Big Finish sent me a comp copy of Short Trips: Re:Collections<\/i>. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I’ve had a copy of the book since the beginning of the month<\/a>. I’d bought it from WhoNA, because I wanted a copy of the “Best Of” anthology that had my story, “The Spindle of Necessity.” I didn’t know, didn’t realize that I’d get a free copy from the publisher.<\/p>\n Still!

And probably why my brain feels like it’s been bludgeoned to death with a blunt excrement.<\/p>\n (Yes, that last phrase is a movie quote. Any takers?)<\/p>\n On the train ride home I came up with an idea that’s only slightly<\/i> barking mad. I jotted a few notes in the notepad I carry with me, and I spent at least half an hour trying to determine the necessary contact information to make this barking mad idea a reality. Or at least, to give it a chance of becoming a reality.<\/p>\n The Internet is a great and wondrous thing, and sometimes it’s the things that you think<\/i> would be easy to find that prove to be the hardest.<\/p>\n And the Cubs beat the Sox at the Cell.
