Alone Again
Woke up alone again. My son slept in his bed one night and then I took him to Caldwell. He’s going to spend a few days with Ed. Going to fish, play with puppies and relax.
Had a good time with Ed. He briefed me on the Haunted House play test. Wish I could have been there. We chatted a while. There had been a plan for me to write a setting for True 20 rules. They decided to not do it after all. Now I will write another military horror mod. I can do that. After that we looked at the puppies. Real cute. Then Ed picked me some tomatoes and peppers. Yummy!
Then Ed started the first episode of Firefly. Oh my God! What an awesome show. Who is the dumb ass that cancelled this? Its better than Star Wars. It reminded me of Heavy Metal magazine. Great plot, interesting characters and I have to buy this one. Everyone. Look for this. You will not regret it. It’s better than Lost and that was my favorite show. They are making a movie of Firefly called Serenity. I’ll be there on opening day.
Had to leave. My sister-in-law came back from Hong Kong and I needed to pick her up. Unlike summer camp, my son gave me a big hug before I left. I arrived ten minutes late, but my sis-in-law was cool about it. It rained the whole time she was in HK, so she did not do a lot. She also said my in-laws had left for Toronto a day before she left. She slept most of the drive. Cannot blame her. That’s an exhausting trip.
After I dropped her off I called Preston. I intended to chat about Firefly, but it turned into Skinwalker art discussion. Very good, fruitful conversation. We have all the descriptions for 9 interior sketches and the Skinwalker cover ready for the artists. The cost of art for Skinwalker and Fear Effects/Brainwashed are all coming at one time. Royalties are also around the corner, not to mention Savage World license fees. I believe these products will sell good. We just need to get em done and out to the emalls.
The rest of the night is quiet. My wife left earlier in the day for Detroit. She returns Thursday. I wonder how much Firefly costs?

Firefly totally rocks. I was a Joss Whedon fan from his Buffy/Angel shows that were running at the time, so I made a point of watching Firefly when it was originally broadcast. Someone over at Fox is definitely banging his head against the wall over this one. …If he still has a job. Buy the DVDs. They’re worth it.
