My sister’s first child, a boy, was born earlier this week 🙂

On the writing front, my poems “Sheep” and “Traveling” are in the latest issue (#76) of Ship of Fools. They are both part of King Xau’s story, but are quieter interstitial poems, taking place between the main events. N.B. I have now had some 27 poems published in Ship of Fools, of which four are part of The Sign of the Dragon.
