Jmho A theory -- I think that creativity, by its nature, means being outside of the norm. There's a heavy social price for straying too far from acceptable behavior within a society. Which frequently means that creative people have to either (1) choose to "behave" which denies a part of...

3 Books in a Year? Yup. And two Anthologies with short stories, and my son moving back to Denver, and conferences where either Cathy's teaching or I'm on a panel... Hi Guys! Missed you, but, um, I've been a little SWAMPED. Hope you liked the excerpt. Cie

I really didn't get into the other series by Parker as much as Spenser. I think Hawk has changed as well as Parker's presentation of him. I think being around Spenser and Susan has given him more of a sense of "family" than he used to have and that, in some ways, has made him grow up, but...

Ahhh, ahhha, ahhhhh...............CHOOOOOOOO!!!! (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

And the penguins.

For the record, it takes a while for people to warm up to you here. But it's basically a good bunch. I'm a relative newbie myself, but I'm glad I stop by. So - let's get to know each other better: (Personal details) : - Where are you from? (Country, state, city...) Currently? Texas...

Wonder how many of those legislators wear suspenders -- you never can trust those darned newfangled belt thingies!

You're Love in the Time of Cholera Gabriel Garcia Marquez Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by sleeping with as many people as you possibly can. But in your heart you never give consent! This creates a strange quandary of what love really means to you. On the...

Welcome! Sit down, make yourself comfortable and have a good read! :D

Aha!!!! You're Malta! With a strange attraction to crosses and falcons, you are one of the most mysterious and unknown people in your group of friends, your community, or pretty much any category you want to mention. You keep to yourself, but see yourself as a knight in shining armor, ready...

Personal Opinion I think that marijuana should be treated the way alcohol and tobacco are. Legalized but regulated. I think it would bring in income to the governments, regulate quality. I think that the drug itself doesn't lead to harder drugs, but I do believe the associations do...

Much more pragmatic (sadly) My boring work week Seems to go on forever. Will it ever END?

Purgatory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and...

Thanks guys! Thanks! I feel so welcome! I'm liable to be kind of sporadic about stopping by. Cathy and I got some very good news, (a 3 book deal for 2006 :D), but that means that we're going to be busy writing (which will impact my computer time). But I intend to stop by here at least a...
