Scott A****o in VT!

Congratulations, Scott. If there’s any special dedication, let me know today before I send it off.

Yesterday I finished Chapter 11 of FORTUNE’S FOOL, and did a little editing on VOICE OF THE FALCONER (books 3 and 2, respectively). Then, after putting Dash to bed, Jan and I watched the final three episodes of Heroes (thank you TiVO). They’re more enjoyable when watched back to back – like a good novel, there are several storylines running alongside each other. But sometimes an hour-long format isn’t the greatest delivery system. Watching three in a row is the best way to get invested.

The writing often makes me cringe (Peter can walk thru walls and melt metal – why is he straining to tear off a safe door he could manage much more easily?), but the overall fun of the show keeps me coming back. If only they could hire Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Brian Michael Bendis to pen episodes, this show would rule.

Meanwhile, my treadmill movie this morning was After The Thin Man. Now there’s great dialogue!

Cheers, and more tomorrow.
