Leprechaun

I've been a victim of my internet provider's marketing scheme, which involves making their dial-up system as unwieldly and unreliable as possible, so you'll switch to their high-speed, meanwhile making Blogger's failures happen in slow motion, the whole thing ending up in such a crescendo of frustration, that Torquemada and the great sadists of history could only applaud in admiration.



Oh well. Here's another little picture, in black and white this time. Inspired by my reading of Charles de Lint's Spirits in the Wire, which I can't recommend unless you already know and really like his work. Still, I'm pushing through.

Outside of another dental appointment next week, and a bicycle accident in the rain today, things are fine (I'm okay, at least I stayed upright, but the guy who braked in front of me after rushing through a blind corner was very emphatic that it didn't hurt, his sliding along the asphalt and having the bicycle land on his bare legs. He was an older gentleman. I hope he's all right).
