If I turned the swampy part of the backyard into a water feature, do you think I could coax a kraken into moving in? And would he count as a home security system and add to the property value?

I'll admit I've become a bit obsessed. It's not my fault--kraken is just such a fun word to say, I find all sorts of reasons to toss it into casual conversation. And now I keep thinking how cool it would be if I could greet my guests with "Release the Kraken!"

Was a crazy busy week at work, including halfdays both yesterday and today starting at 6AM. And to top things off, a writer who shall remain nameless sent his critique partners a story about the plague, which made his readers fall ill. Seriously, when this anthology comes out, I'm recommending it be read while wearing gloves and a mask.

I did manage to get writing time in, though not as much as I'd hoped. Didn't make it to the gym, due to low energy and a suspicion that the other patrons really didn't need to share my plague germs, but hope to get there tomorrow.

Bike is in the shop for spring tune-up, and should be ready sometime this week. With luck, by the time the next weekend rolls around, I'll feel nearly human and ready to hit the road.

I shared your Kraken story with my friends. While we were watching Spartacus on Starz. Resulting from this, 'Release the Kraken!' has become a euphemism for sex.

I just thought you should know what you sparked. ;)
