So, the local Mall decided that it would close at 6:00 PM today, even though it's the last Sunday before Christmas. Quite strange since just about all of the other stores near the mall are open late. Managed to make it to the Waldenbooks a few minutes before 6 only to discover the book store is soon to close for good at the mall. On the plus side every book in the store is at least 20% off. But still, whenever any book store closes it is a sad event indeed.

We still have a decent sized Barnes & Noble nearby but it was nice having both stores to choose from. I finally got around to buying Guy Gavriel Kay's Tigana and onto the TBR pile it goes.

Wrote a funeral scene today (or rather the tale end of it as I'm not showing the entire thing). I've decided to shoot for the end of May to finish the first draft. We'll see how that works out.
