Lord knows how or why it's listed for fifty-two smackers. I guess this is good news for all of you who have a copy: They're goin' up in value on the secondary market! :)

I am so immensely happy the Writer's Strike is wrapping up this week, if for no other reason than "Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann."

Now don't get me wrong: Even though I'm a grown man, I'm not immune to a well-structured talent show. I can dig 'em, when they're done well. But with the TV writer's out of work, the networks had to stretch the natural viewing length of a lot of these shows... and "Dance War" became an hour-and-a-half nightmare of Bruno's ridiculisms (as I call them). That man, and that long format for that show, are both pain-inducing to watch.

To watch that show slowly, painfully unfold over an hour and a half is like watching Portabello Mushrooms grow.

Thanks for all the support — that's very cool news!

And just a reminder: If you can, pick up your copy from the Sheldon Store, rather than Amazon. That'll help all four authors avoid Amazon's "unique" distributor cut.*
