Ciao a tutti! Hello, everybody!

Well, this week has been a corker. I'm trying to get ready for my summer visit to the US, wrapping up my lessons at the school where I teach, and working out the final kinks in order to get both Ask Me if I'm Happy and "Alternate Rialto" out in paperback.

Of course, this means that I've sacrificed a lot of time and haven't been able to do a proper Thursday Thirteen. So this week, I'll have to present to you:

Thursday Thirteen:
Yet Another Utterly and Completely Random Edition

1) Who knew that "save to PDF" could be such a frakkin' challenge? Well, it is for me...
2) Someone in my neighborhood is cooking something which smells totally and unquestionably DELICIOUS. This is when open windows are both a treat and a torture, I tell you what.
3) I can also smell flowers. I'm not a big fan of flowers, but these smell niiiice...
4) Did I mention that Ask Me if I'm Happy is now available via Kindle, once again? No? Well it is. WOOOT! It's also available in the UK and in Germany (in English). How cool is that?
5) Did I mention that "Alternate Rialto" is also available via Kindle? No? I must be slipping, eh? It's there now! It's also in the UK and in Germany (in English, of course). I'm so happy! Yay!!!

6) This is the Madonna del Ghisallo - the patron saint of cyclists. This medallion is mentioned in my novel, 27 Stages.

7) Yes, I am still working on 27 Stages. Hopefully I'll be working on it full-time very soon.
8) About an hour or so ago, I compiled a list of cyclists who are over six feet tall. It wasn't research, but a favor for a cycling fan friend.

Bicycle still life with Chuck Taylor shoe and chubby leg. *ahem*
9) This week, I went for a recreational ride on my bike (as opposed to commuting, which is what I usually do). I only managed 4.5 miles. Add this to my commutes, and I've ridden 7.9 miles this week. I hope to add 6.5 miles to that tomorrow. Wish me luck!
10) I've got a load of laundry in the washing machine right now.
11) I have to switch out my winter clothes for my summer ones. Ugh. Luckily I'm packing relatively light for my trip to the US. I think.
12) I have two lessons left and then I'm done with work. Pity it's only wrapping up two days before I leave for the US.

Happeeeeeee!
13) I just had to throw that in there. Heh. Fabian makes me soooooo happy.





And that's it. Thirteen utterly and completely random posts.




















Sorry 'bout that.































In the end, though...



















Is random really so bad?

I'd freak out if a guy was naked on the train/bus. good thing he's a hottie!

That pdf thing stinks. You have to figure out on your own that you need to save it as a file first. Google Docs can save now as PDF.

Have a great Thursday!

I hear you on the cooking torment. Won't be long before they're firing up the grills around here. Provided it ever warms up, anyway.

I'm so glad your stories are available on Amazon etc again. That's great!
Good luck with the cycle ride. It's been way to windy for recreational riding around here lately.

You mentioned laundry and that reminds me that my daughter has her covers in the wash.

Have a safe jury to the states.

Feel confident, go naked--that's a great motto! 'Grats on the book availability. :)

Happy TT,
