So while Cynthia was in Vermont last month, what did I do?
Research for my new novel -- this included grilling Ken Appelt, husband of author Kathi Appelt, on childhood ranching experiences. BTW, the wait at Z Tejas on a Friday night at 7:30 is about an hour.
Also, I watched the extended DVDs of The Lord of the Rings. On the whole, I was very pleased, especially since LOTR is one of my favorite novels. (I may blog more about these later, after I've seen the special features - yes I am that much of a geek). For now, let me just ask, did anyone else notice that the Elves are the only ones in Middle Earth who use shampoo?

Greg,
You need to run down here to Houston and see The Movie exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.

We are complete, total, unredeemable geeks as far as these movies are concerned for more reasons than I can go into here. Sting, Theoden's armour, the mithril shirt, orcs, Alan Lee's artwork, Boromir in his boat...hmmm...we are gonna have to go back. It leaves Aug. 28!
Happy Birthday!!
Happy B-day Greg. It was great meeting you at the AISD Librarian Bookfair.
