.... totally hammered, blasted out of my mind, staggering to find the toliet seat.... how did you know? Seriously, haven't touched the stuff in over 20 years.... but funny guy you are!

I have been working on my first best seller since Jan. 8th, busting my fingernails on the keyboard for hours on end and just now seeing a little light at the end of an interesting journey through my complex mind. So yes, it is impressive to see all of your work... be so proud!

Hey Anton!
Thanks for the friendship.
I noticed you have House of Flying Daggers on your list of favorite movies. Its on my list, too.
LOVE that film! And you made me realize I forgot to list Hero! How could I? I assume you are referring to the 2004 Zhang film starring Jet Li, right?

I finished your book. Was good; passed it to my dad so that he would stop whining about Buffy and focus on something else for five seconds (he took certain events in issue 12 rather badly).

Nick's Nest? I've never heard of it. Is that a bar? The only bars I'm familiar with are Waterfront tavern and Elizurs.

Thank you for the add.

I am fully enjoying your book, as it is filled with the witty dialogue that I very much enjoy. So far, there hasn't been a dull a moment in 'Dead to Me'.

So, you're from Dalton, huh? Nice. My best friend lives there.
