In place of one of those posts about how I really want to sit down and write but have suddenly found myself too busy to actually sit down and write, I offer a picture of a gnome:

I took this picture months ago, and just came across it this morning.
Do you see how this Gnome is looking expectantly toward the horizon, the handle of his little gnomish axe resting in his right hand, so if whatever he's hoping to see (or maybe hoping to not see) comes into view, he's ready to meet it?
Yeah, I see that too.
