Actually, Steve, I wasn’t planning on boring all of you into unconsciousness by making you read this thing again. I’m thinking I might use Ty as my cold reader, and spare the bulk of Critical Mass.

I’m going to beturning in the screenplay SHOOT THE MOON for my August submission.

Tracy, it was very nice to get to put a face to a name. Glad you enjoyed the Tool Box. I told Walter and he was very pleased to hear it.

Forgive the tangential question, but why would a hound be wary of an armadillo? I don’t think we have armadillos in San Diego, so I have no idea how dogs react to them, but it’s not obvious to me that they would be cautious in dealing with them—it’s not like approaching a skunk, or a porcupine. Are armadillos spectacularly fierce or something?

It’s not that armadillos are fierce they’re just really strange looking.

Armadillos - what’s not to be wary of? They are spectacularly creepy. Their proportions are odd. Tiny head, swollen body. Then there’s the whole armor thing. It’s like an opossum bred with a tortoise. The hounds that didn’t find that genetic complexity a little off putting died out a long time ago from natural selection.
