The Red Queen's Race

I got one new amendment this week, which went on my Special Amended docket, and it is an actual amendment, not a Board of Appeals decision. I didn't work on any amendments, so I'm up to a total of seven: five regular Amended, and two Special Amended.

I did do a first action rejection on my oldest Regular New case, and I have worked on another Regular New case, so that I mow see light at the end of the tunnel, and hope to get it finished before Tuesday at 3:00 PM, and without working on Christmas, either.

One more biweek in the first quarter left to go.

Further Adventures

Barbara Hambly has announced a couple of "Further Adventures" novelettes, now available on Amazon and Smashwords. One of them is a new Joanna and Antryg tale, "Karate Masters vs. the Invaders from Outer Space," which I have downloaded to my Kindle, and the other is "Hag in the Water," a Dragonsbane sequel with John Aversin and the gnomes of Ylferdun, which I have not. I haven't read all the John Aversin and Jenny Waynest novels, and I'm not sure whether I really should catch up before reading this.

The multitalented Professor Hambly has also painted the cover art for "Karate Masters," and I liked that as well.
