For real? Well, January and February are never good months for me, but I'm trying to stave off the gloomies by writing a lot. Going to a lot of kiddo's basketball games and stuff. Otherwise, everything's just in a holding pattern. No big ups, no big downs.

YES, I will build the house, right on the site where the old Gatlinburg house burned down. I was all set to go when I got those plans, but now the economy has tanked, so I'm gonna wait it out and then see when it seems safe to go ahead with it.
