Hey, come on in. Don't worry about it, last night was crazy. Thanks -- I'll set it right over here. I guess tonight is, too. I was tempted to watch, yeah, but I'm a hurricane junkie, so that's taken priority. Galvaston was the site of the nation's worst hurricea, I'm sure you  heard about that during all the coverage, but I read a great book about it a few years ago. So I'm nervous for the people there, and for the refineries and all that stuf, and for the people who left; I'm praying for the people who stayed behind. 
But it's funny how that had me thinking about books. I haven't been writing as much as I want -- chaos in my persaonl life, mostly. But the other problem is the story that comes bext, I don't know how it begins. You've got to lead strong, I've always thought, or people won't give you much of a read. I've got two favorite beginings. The first is Richard Bach -- remember when he was relavent? "We think sometimes ther's not a dragon left, not one brave knight, no princesses walking through enchanted forest. ... "What a pleasure to be wrong." The book quickly disintegrates from there. 
The other, though, and my all time favorite entry. Tom Robbins. "If this typewriter can't do it, then fuck it, it can't be done." That one has gotten me started more times than I can count. 
So I know youve' got a favorite book or two,m the kind that gets inside of you, pull syou in with the first sentence. I'd like to know about it.  Tell me, how does it start?.
