The final score of the Alamo Bowl was
                                           TCU     47
                                      Oregon     41

The biggest comeback in bowl history.

Sometimes I forget my limitations.  The other day I saw an infomerical for a NordicTrack Incline Trainer.  I was wondering how much room it would take up in the second bedroom.  Then it finally occurred to me!  I can't walk!

I am enjoying the updates on the novel-in-progress. BK, are you finding comedy different to write from writing a mystery or western? Does it take any different approach?

Same approach, really, because there's always so much humor in the regular books.  And I'm trying to find ways to have it have a bit more depth at times, just for fun.

I've done about twelve pages and am exhausted from too little sleep, but I finished the long chapter and may write a bit of the new one just so I pick up tomorrow in the midst of it rather than starting a new chapter first thing - it's easier if there's something there already.
