…One of those weeks that just seemed totally, unbelievably exhausting?
Or the urge to just curl up in bed and wait out the winter?
Or a spiteful, possibly violent impulse you’re just too nice (or worried about getting busted) to act on?
Yeah.
That one. 
Bring it to the CHICAS site today. We’re taking care of business. 
Hello there.
I’m Cody. Aka Code. Codyman. Codybear. The Codester.
I own the human, Raine, who occasionally operates this blog. She’s into print galley edits at the mo, and I figured I’d fill in just this once. I mean, hey—what price Fancy Feast?
Raine and I are being interviewed today and tomorrow at author Jody Wallace’s MEAN KITTY blog.
And don’t expect any of that LOL Cats stuff. Mean Kitty and I don’t play that crap.
Come and say hi if you get a chance. Love to meet ya.
Bring tuna. Will love ya even more.

The latest Clarity of Night contest is over.
I did enter. I didn’t expect to win. But I liked the short I came up with anyway.
The process was sort of like this, over a period of weeks:
“Maybe I should enter. A challenge might do me good.”
“Nah.”
“The brain could use a little stimulation.”
“It’s the holidays. Get real.”
“Holidays over. Some nice entries there.”
“It’s too late. You’ll never come up with anything decent.”
“Hey, I’ve got a premise.”
“It’s too late.”
“If I don’t do something with it, I’ll just be pissed off at myself.”
“Fine. Knock yourself out.” 
The final short story is posted after the break below.
And I’m blogging at the CHICAS site today. Please join us.

The snow out back actually melted a bit this week!
Good to see the little critters come out to play…
“This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.”
