It was a crazily busy weekend, at least by my current middle-aged standards; one of my oldest friends was in town with two of her kids all weekend because her son had a travel hockey tournament in town, and there was an all-day thing at my son’s school yesterday that both he and my wife got roped into, and all three of us spent the whole weekend peopling and pretending we are social human beings and so all everyone did today was lie around the house and moan. I took a nap and my son is taking one now; I cannot confirm that my wife took a nap too but who knows. I have my lesson plans done for tomorrow and I have done my various Things That Must Be Done Every Day, or at least I will have as soon as I finish this post, so it’s video games until bedtime for me as soon as I hit Publish.

A quick note before I do that: the sequel to Dan Ford’s The Warden came out last week. It’s called Necrobane, and I read it this week, and I haven’t reviewed it yet because a lot of my feelings about the book are tied up in spoilers and I’m not sure how to write a good spoiler-free review of it. The short version is that I like it a hell of a lot but it didn’t go in any direction that I thought it was going to go, and it’s going to be real real interesting to see what happens with Book 3.

… which I guess is a spoiler-free review, but it’s only a paragraph, and I feel like the book deserves a little more of that.
