Wishing the NaNoWriMo crowd well as November kicks off

I admire (and, in a way, envy--and, in still another way, envy not) those of you who have embarked upon NaNoWriMo this year, whether you be seasoned NaNo veterans or first-time participants.  I've never done NaNoWriMo myself and have little hope that I'll ever muster the motivation and energy.

I commented to Keiliss that I can't see myself waving pom-poms and therefore I ought to wave something pom-pom-like.  Since i want to offer my support to you all, here is the official Huinish equivalent of pom-poms.



Godspeed!

Devil's Tower

Interesting legends about Devil's Tower, WY.  Many involve a bear attempting to capture children.  One includes a great eagle rescuing the children from the pinnacle (sound familiar, Tolkien fans?)

[On a totally unrelated note: I was amused recently to learn that the phrase In vino veritas is attributed to Pliny the Elder (evidently lifted off a Greek phrase attributed to Alcaeus).  I love that guy.]
