Seeing Red

Yesterday I had to take a pass on a cool little project that I hope finds the right writer. Sometimes it's hard to say no, and there's no way not to feel a bit bad about that. Kind of stuck my neck out on too many things lately, bit off more than I can chew, and I need to keep focus until I get to the other side of things. On a lighter note...tonight is my first in-person Caps game in a stretch. Rocking the red down at the phone booth in DC. Sabres clocked the Caps this past weekend which was, like, freakin' absurd, so I expect payback. Which reminds me, Chris Holm wanted to collaborate on a hockey story this year, I think. Got my BEAT TO A PULP anthology from the six word story contest a few days ago--wonder if he's still down for that? Maine guy. I wonder if he's already buried under snow. Hmm....
