Since self-publishing has entered the mainstream...

I have had no experience with this myself so I can't vouch for BookBaby, but they are putting this out there: A sweepstakes with a grand prize of a self-publishing package valued at $10k+.  Winner will be chosen at random on November 5.

Best cat owner ever

This guy felt so bad about giving his cat meds, he built a tower for him.  Out of boxes.

Made the Top Ten of this writing competition again

"You were with us every step of the way."

As I've mentioned in the past, two of the casualties of 9/11 were L.A. Kings scouts Ace Bailey and Mark Bavis.  Some of the players, along with execs Luc Robitaille and Tim Leiweke, went to the 9/11 Memorial in New York City to pay their respects to the two.

Lump in throat time.

Sad anniversary

RIP Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.  It was one year ago today.
