another day at the job


That sheepdog and wolf clocking in at work.
I've always preferred Hanna Barbera's cartoons
but Warner Brothers sure got it right with them.

2 Kings


I finished Stephen King's new book, the
culmination of his trio featuring detective
Hodges. It has some similarities to the new
book I've been writing.




















Another cover version has the upside down
umbrella like Good Deed Rain!
























Also read this excellent book
by Vivien Goldman about
Bob Marley's Exodus album.

bridge


I just saw the James Cagney movie
City for Conquest (1940) which begins
on the Williamsburg bridge in NYC.
This is the very bridge starring in
my book AT THE EDGE OF AMERICA
which is available today from Amazon.com.
I used to walk over that bridge at night
thinking about Waterstories.

meanwhile, on the TV


I'm up to chapter 3 in the new novel I'm writing.
Some strange influences this weekend. The starting
sequence of Jerry Lewis' The Delicate Delinquent,
the old Logan's Run movie and the Star Trek
episode, Miri.
