Thanks folks, that should pretty much keep me busy all day.  =D

Sorry Hawk, missed your post last night, yea exactly, hartfordish sized cities. I'm starting to push the promo now that the website is up so I'm emailing papers trying to get more reviews. The NYT hasn't replied yet.  ;/  :lol:

I sent one (a copy) to the Hartford courant yesterday, Advocate too. We shall see.

This whole thing started when I was trying to dream up a way to keep myself busy and make some scratch during the first Q when I'm dead in the water. The plan is working well. At least the staying busy part is, it's not exactly flooding the bank account with cash yet.  =|  :lol:

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.
