Thud /thud/ n. 1. a low dull sounds like that of a blow or something that does
not resound. 2. the sound a body makes when it falls. 3. the title of the new
novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett

It started out as a perfect day -- the sun was shining, the birds were singing,
and Commander Sam Vimes of the City Watch shaved himself without a single nick.
And then he went to work.

THUD!

Suddenly, Vimes is in the thick of looming disaster -- he's got an unsolved
murder to crack, an impending war born of age-old animosity to avert, a new
recruit he'd really rather not hire, not to mention a pesky government inspector
asking all the wrong questions.


So it'll be off to Las Cruces for me! I've been needing to go down there and transact some various business anyway.

Keeping up with Tradition

I can usually count on having a minimum of two colds per year -- usually about the second or third week of the semester. And this year is no different, even though it's a different state, I caught a cold Thursday. Friday and Saturday were mildly miserable, but I seem to have the worst of it past. Now I just have the pleasure of killing a box of kleenex until my nose starts to behave again.
