2/4/04 - Tanga Chapter 17 titled The Alpha has been posted.

This week's EVE Vault discussion is about family. Last weeks
discussion, which I wrote before leaving for vacation, was about
Puritanical Ideals and directly relates to Janet Jackson.

The initial writing of Time Keepers is now complete. In other words,
the first draft is done. I'm now editting to create a second draft.
I hope to have my editting done late second quarter of 2004 at which
time it will be copyeditted. The book is currently 166,354 words
long. It's generally too costly to publish books greater than
100,000 words. For this reason I am breaking the book into two
books. The first book is about 87,000 words long and the second book
is 78,000 words. If they do get published separately it will
probably be as 'Time Keepers - The Colony (Volume 1)' and 'Time
Keepers - First Mission (Volume 2)'.

Congratulations to Orson Scott Card on having the writers from X-MEN
2 signed to the Ender's Game: The Movie

My vacation in the Berkshires was fun. We went to the butterfly
conservatory, the Berkshire Musuem, and went Tubing at Brodie
Mountian twice.

I watched the Grammy's purely to see Amy Lee of Evanescence.
Congratulations to them for their two Grammys. I also found it
disappointing Janet Jackson did not attend because of the Super Bowl
and yet the untalented Mickey Mouse Club reject not only went but
sang twice and undeservingly won a Grammy over Sting. I seriously
doubt I'll spend time to watch the Grammy awards again.
