It’s that time of the month–time for me to announce a new issue of Mosaic Minds. Only this time there isn’t a new issue. We’re going on hiatus and when we come back we will only be publishing four times a year instead of eight times a year.

Here’s your free cute picture of the day. No reason. My friend e-mailed it to me last night and it’s so damned cute I can’t keep it to myself. It’s from the holiday cookie exchange in December. I can’t believe how much he’s grown in just a month!
