Smellin' coffee - anybody up yet? We are getting a lot of that nasty 30-degree wet mountain snow today. Kids are home for the 10th day since the start of 2005...

I've been up since 7. It's raining here, snowing in Vermont. I'm really enjoying your book, Amalie. It's unusual because I have to remind myself everything is postcards. I like the density of the layout. OGR needs you.

Tramp, Is the book a two thumbs up? As soon as I pay off a debt or two, I may have to order one. :D

ON the book layout, my background in the magazine business paid off; it would be pretty hard to spend the kind of time "tweaking" the layouts on a monthly magazine that I spent on this - most them got revised two or three times before I was happy with them. My wife, who is a former English teacher, gets the credit for cleaning my copy up.

Hey, I'm thinking about getting a couple of those NYC K-Line Mikes today before they are all gone. Anybody had any experience or reviews on them - I am hoping they are not geared up like rockets; the other K-Line engines I formerly owned were too quick for realistic running.

Jon, you dear thing! I love all that about Noah, thanks so much for digging it up and posting, what a funny cool guy he was. So tell me - was that really there about the wee plot of wild daisies, or did you tack that on...?

Must be where I get my musician gene from, hm?

All right. Enough of this day already, I just pushed the hands on my clock forward to 5. Anyone up for a beer and some bear's head soup?

Who cares about 5:00 anyway? Remember the three-martini lunch? Since I am doing research today anyhow...OK Daisy, rack 'em up, I'll have one with you. Not too sure about the soup - how old is the bear's head...

All right, first one always tastes best amalie, and here's yours, cheers. I don't know how old this bear's head is but I skinned it at dawn and I've been boiling it in sugar ever since. Old family recipe.

“Very special—eyes, brain—very special,” Tong said as he placed a whole baby chicken that he’d recommended in front of Neal. “You try.” Neal picked out an eyeball reluctantly with his chopsticks, dropping it twice. Tong watched attentively as he chewed. “What you think?”

Neal shuddered as he swallowed, his face contorted.

Tong boiled over in delight. “Rest better—no worry.”

“I can’t believe you just ate that,” said Pam.

“Eastern Dude . . . no eyeball too horrible.” Greg forked more salt and pepper squid onto his plate.



Where's Jon? Today is the Berk arrival--I hope.

Amalie, I'm more and more impressed with your book. Solid writing style, too. You let the material do the work and don't attempt to puff it up with false emotion. Well done. I just wish there was more color, but I understand why not. Have you sold many books?

Probably about half of the print run, but most of the money went back out for advertising and distribution access. Its a tough market to play in...

I need a good luck drink, indeed! 3:45 and still no Mr. Brown. But I've been busy putting some of my diecast for bid on Ebay, anyway. I got me a secret project going on. Top Secret, yessir! Haaa, would'nt ya like to know. :D
Thanks, but I'll pass on the bear soup as well! I'm bbq'ing a pile of pork chops marinated in Caribbean Jerk sauce. If you're gonna be a pirate, then eat like on, I say! Cheers!
