What do you get when you cross the holiday season with a root canal?

Actually, the answer is pretty pedestrian. You get a writer with a proposal to finish, edits to check, and too many fretful nights. So tune in next week when I suspect that writer (me) will be fresher and more alert.

(And don’t worry, part one of the root canal went very well.)

I hope you had wonderful holidays and are starting to settle into 2016 with energy and conviction. I promise I’ll be back. . .
