The old in cold

I'm feeling the old in Adult and the old in cold, as in this unbelievably cold weather. If I wasn't an AOA, and just an Adult, could I retire to warmer climes? Hmm ... may be time to grow up.
Nevertheless, I have my Electronic Publishing project up on the Star Hoppers, and all the links work (at least in Safari). I also finished the final paper and am ready to brave the twenty degree temperatures and forty mile per hour wind gusts to go to class tomorrow night. Yes!!
And though this old body wants to give in to winter and hibernate beneath a down comforter with hot tea and old movies, instead I am going to construct (yes, by hand) a beautiful book of poetry for my Poetry Workshop. And even then, I shall not succumb to winter. Oh no, I will clean, cook and shop for Christmas presents. And decorate the house, thankful that the outside lights are already up. Then perhaps, before the children are home asking why there's nothing to eat, I shall have a few snug moments under the down comforter. I hope you get to have a few cozy, comforting moments in the next week also. There has to be something to like about winter. 

Star Hoppers: the communal experiment story

The story we wrote on Facebook is now on the internet at Star Hoppers, a website dedicated to the full story of Wendell's adventures. Twenty one people contributed to the story, and it is great. 
I published it as an interactive website, so you can click from one page to another. There are links to contributor's webpages and other credits. If you check out contributor's links, you'll see what a diverse group came together to write a story. I had a great time, and I learned about electronic media and being creative without being in control. 
So, go read Star Hoppers, and if you're one of the writers, give yourself a pat on the back. Well done. It was fun. Son of a gun!
