I am now. I wasn't earlier this week, but I got the rewrite request yesterday. Thursday or Friday would be awesome. I'm just trying to get it out as soon as possible so I don't revise it to death.
Plus, I have two more 5,000-worders to finish over the next two weeks for an anthology, so I don't want to waste too much time working on an old story.

My daughter's out there (Berkeley) with her 78 degree weather... during the rainy season that isn't. As for me,
I'm getting ready to celebrate our heat wave. A balmy 28 degrees! woo-hoo. Of course with 25 mile an hour winds (takes out calculator to figure wind chill...)
Did you get a load of I-75 in Atlanta? 3 inches and it closed the thing DOWN.

Did you get a load of I-75 in Atlanta? 3 inches and it closed the thing DOWN.
NPR ran a story on Atlanta yesterday. A group of students and teachers were stuck at the school all night. It sounded like a fun little impromptu shut-in if you don't count the apocalyptic weather conditions.
