Heavy metal board game t-shirt is real! This sample is printed on Men's Extra Soft Heather Smoke. I'm impressed that so much fine detail is visible on the band list. All pretty legible (by heavy metal standards). Check it out!

A full day of plane travel was fine. Service was kind and helpful.

The lines at customs seemed long, but we prepared in advance so it was speedy and efficient.

Navigating Tokyo's competing train fiefdoms during weekday rush hour? THAT was stressful.

But then we had noodles so it was worth it.

Nothing pretty or meaningful to say for #TransDayOfRemembrance this year. Just a scream into the void where I thought people's hearts were, once.

Well I thought I was going to finish this on the plane, but I couldn't wait. It was so nice to enjoy small truffles from the Radch and Raven Tower settings. Extraordinary range between honorable tragedy and goofball farce. Highly recommended.

(INCIDENTALLY neither A Memory Called Empire nor Ninefox Gambit was influenced by my work. All 3 were composed at the same time (ish) and none of us had read the others' mss. Once again, the vagaries of publishing produced the illusion of subsequent events when really composition was simultaneous.

I call for a third term: deuce.
"Set aside any deuce showing a 3 or lower.
"Roll three deuce and use the highest result."
"To activate Stink Monster, take a deuce. Place it atop the discard pile."

I see no pitfalls with this plan.
