Returned from a week's vacation in Duluth, Minnesota. Enjoyable. Different culture than I'm used to in Southern California. Nice people. Don't know if I could handle six months (or more) of snow every year though.

Anyway, I thought the movie deal was going to collapse while I was gone. Way of the world. But it appears to be progressing. Contracts are being written. Perhaps this will happen afterall.

Also received a note fromthe reader at Interzone magazine that my s/f story, "The One-Hundred Lives of Dorian Echo," was being sent to the editorial board for consideration.

Possibilities abound.
