The Bayou Renaissance Man has published his first novel, and from what I hear, it's a doozy.
Take the Star Road is available as an e-book right now. The link is on the right side of Peter's blog page, right at the top.
I'm waiting for the print version, so
no spoilers!
I just can't seem to get used to the Kindle books and their ilk. I've given it the old college try, but I just don't feel like I'm getting into a book unless I've got that whole "tactile response" thing going on.
After a day with my face buried in a laptop and Blackberry screen, I like to lie down at night with a good book. This generally ends with me falling asleep with said book lying on my chest.
In the morning, as I make the bed, the first thing I do is dig through the sheets and blankets to find whatever book I was reading the night before.
Falling asleep with a Kindle on my chest just doesn't do it for me.
Hurry up and get the print version out, Peter!

I may end up wandering around down by Panama City this week. (Florida, not Panama)
I've got an Aunt down that way somewhere that I haven't seen in 30 years.
Wondering whether it would be worth the trouble to look her up and visit, or would it be too awkward?
I don't have one of those touchy-feely families...obviously.

No shortage of guns on the shelves here in Bama, but ammo is still pretty scarce.
Guns that I cannot buy because I haven't gotten my driver's license changed over yet.
Another item on the ludicrously long list of shit I need to get accomplished if I ever get some free time on a weekday.
Alabama is a "waiting period" state.
PITA
