2 - Some lightsaber requests are still being processed. Please be patient if yours haven't been accepted yet.

3 - I have been informed that the Dark Voice will be delayed. Korbane, like so many others - myself included - got very overwhelmed with the December holiday season. He assures me he is VERY sorry and will try to get it out soon.

4 - If you notice any major typos in this report, it is because I am typing without one thumb. I have lost the use of my left thumb for about 2 weeks thanks to an unfortunate meeting with a professional chef's knife. Fear not. This will not keep me from my work as HRLD, though it does make several other things rather difficult... namely tying my shoes and daily routine stuff like that.

5 - For all of you who love snow, not only was my house attacked by it on Dec 25th - resulting in about 3.5 feet - but it is being attacked again tonight (Jan 3) with an additional 2 feet.

You can see how my backyard looked on the morning of the 26th here. There is a picnic table on the right side of the image. All you can see is the snow piled on top of it. Even the bird feeder got slammed.

Now imagine that backyard with another 2 feet of snow on top of what's there.

What does this mean to the DB? Well - that's where I'll be for most of tomorrow... digging myself out of the nearly 5 feet of snow.
