i'm sick.
i'm still at work.
between working (barely), i have spent the whole day trying to figure out new york commuter lines in the 1850s. the scary thing is i was getting close with the online resources available (and learning all sorts of fascinating and useless information about the new york street car wars, fort schuyler, and pneumatic tube systems). none of this, by the way, is actually terribly important with regard to anything i am presently writing.
i think the research has tipped over into insanity. was it too much to ask that i be enticed to write about characters living in west texas or someplace i actually have walked the streets and know something about?
i have a bunch of interesting things to post, but am conserving my energy for the drive home.
