Summer Slowdown

There have just been too many things going on. Summer becomes busy with the usual work but all the sun worshipping going on. That and some extra work and going away for this weekend has made everything woodgy. Next week, I will hopefully figure out a way just to list the titles of past entries so it's easier to find things here. So, even though I could go on about all sorts of topics I'm just going to post the continuing summer submission challenge that we do over at the Twilight Tales group.
