It was a dark and stormy afternoon.

The weather got pretty scary again yesterday afternoon, tornados and storms sweeping through the Midwest and, in southern Indiana, even putting an empty school bus on top of a house! It wasn't too bad for us here in Bloomington--mostly a little flooding here and there, some loud and unsettling wind. But when it all passed, we had some mild, sunshiney weather.

This morning it's even brighter. And we can tell you this much: it doesn't hurt that over the weekend NewPages posted a lovely review of our latest issue, winter 2008!
