Comics, trails, raindrops, and whiskers on kittens

Four Stories is a teeny comic anthology. It arrived in my mailbox today, and I am uber-excited to tear into it. It was published by my dear friend Chris Arrant, who has been in the self-publishing biz since before it was a biz. For him, at least. This little book is a lot slicker than the 'zines from the old days, and I promised Chris that I would give it a thorough (and public) review in honor of its 1-year anniversary if he tossed a copy my way. I always keep my promises to Chris, so stay tuned in the upcoming days for my thoughtful commentary.

Also of note:
If you are in the greater Seattle area tomorrow (Saturday July 21) and you are the least bit outdoors-inclined, you MUST visit TrailsFest in North Bend, WA. I will be there hocking wares for FreezerBagCooking.com with my fellow Trail Divas. Stop by and say aloha!

Also also of note:
It's been raining A LOT for the last two days. I adore it, strangely. We haven't had much rain this summer, and this is a big relief after the heat wave that just came through. I'm feeling like a little rain is good to cleanse the soul, and it makes me remember this one time (not at band camp) at a party or something way back in the day when I danced in the rain with a skinny blond friend of mine who is now married to my prom date. What a strange world we live in.

Also also also of note:
If you have indoor cats with claws and you desire to keep your furniture intact, travel immediately to your nearest pet supply story and invest in an iScratch system. I just brought one home for my adorable feisty beasts, and they are LOVING it. I will give a more detailed report in a few days after I am fully convinced of its awesomeness.
