The baseball playoffs...

...have begun, and I'm hoping my Cards go all the way.

I continue to be pummelled by the harsh Santa Monica sun.

By the by, Blarnia's out in the UK--has anybody found the one with drugs in it yet? We always like to pull one book out of the cartons and stick a bunch of crack and stuff in there. My editor Simon has weird ideas about marketing, but hey, he's the professional.
