Greetings, Gang!

I hope things are going well for you all as I'm here pounding away on the keyboard while I watch my hometown Rockets try to make it a series against the vaunted Lakers. I've got a hot cup of coffee and the house is super-quiet. It's heaven on Earth.

I want to apologize for that last post. I don't know what got into me last week, but my goodness did I have a hard time writing. I was in Atlanta for 'leadership training', (whatever the hell that means), and holed-up inside of a hotel. For some reason, a the plush comfort of a nice hotel is my kryptonite: I can't muster the energy to take a dump. I remember sitting there and thinking on Wednesday night as I watched my third consecutive 'Bigfoot' documentary on the History Channel that, "Wow, you can't do anything better with your life?" While I pondered that question I fell asleep, the answer a resounding, 'no.'

So now I'm back and writing away. Well...I'm re-writing, that is. I'm well over halfway finished with my first rewrite on the first book (this stuff is taking forever). I've got to say that I do like it, but there are ways I can make it better...make it stronger...I can rebuild it...wait a minute.

On a separate note....

The Wolverine movie was released last week, and of course I haven't seen it. Going to the theater is something that I'll now reserve for only the most revered of franchises (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Veggie Tales). Although I couldn't manage to see the Wolverine movie, I did manage to pick-up the Wolverine game. It's the next best thing.

Sometimes I can't help but wonder what Jack Bauer thinks about our country's new outlook on interrogation. I can't imagine he'd be happy, but then again, it's not like he'd listen anyway.

Until next time...
