Off celebrating my anniversary this weekend (the actual anniversary was a couple of weeks ago, but my wife was sick that week). Got stuck in the snow in West Virginia right in front of the bed and breakfast where we’re staying, so that was…well, not fun, but an experience, at least.

I’ve been reading Cherie Priest’s Clockwork Century series lately, a set of steampunk novels set in an alternate 1870s where the Civil War hasn’t ended yet and there are airships and the city of Seattle was destroyed by a digging machine and walled off because a weird gas started seeping up from underground and turning the people into mindless, shambling monsters. It’s good stuff. The first book, Bomeshaker, is excellent, and the second book, Clementine, is a slight but enjoyable read. I’ll definitely be reading the rest of this series.
