E-mail sucks.. just too damn much of it coming in.. how can anyone manage this stuff.. particularly if you go away for a few days.. my new favorite is those with subject lines like "News Release" "Breaking News" "Press Release" -- so much for using filters.

Slow loading this morning.. Finally a day where I'm doing my normal thing.. no shows.. no early morning..

Check out the early buzz on King Kong.. I'm still skeptical...

there's a certain risk in writing a blog.. putting yourself out there.. We'll keep trying at it..
