Hello you two! Just stopped by to say hello. How's that Squack Box doing? Remember you have the # 1 SB and it will surely be a treasured family airloom as years go by. Also good for scaring off burglers and angry dogs etc. Best to you both.

Hey, thanks for writing and for making the first post! Progress is slow but sure on the book. It's taken me some time to get into the world of the films, but it's coming along. Thanks for asking! I'm sure you're busy as ever...

Perhaps I'll actually be the first to post a comment. I'm truly honored to be amongst your top friends - esp. Stan Ridgway and The Criterion Collection!
How is the new book coming along?
