Tracey had written to me off-list via e-mail asking how I am. I thought that I'd send out a general note. Bottomline: I've been busy with my work and my blog. At work, I have 2 web site re-designs which are launching Oct. 16, 2007. So, I'll be flat out 'til then with long hours in the office. After then, I'll post to SciFiNoir2.
In other news... I woke last Thursday night at 3:25 am to the sounds of gun-fire outside my first-floor bedroom window. Boston Police arrived at 3:35 am. Street outside the house next door was littered with shell casings. Car in front of next door had several bullet holes and shell casing on it. Street was taped off and CSI:Boston arrived shortly thereafter and stayed 'til ~5:15 am. To make a long story short, there was a drive- by next door probably involving the knuckleheads who live next door. At least 2 guns were involved and a 9mm slug found its way thru our living room window and came to rest on the floor in front of my wife's computer desk. MOre shell casing found by the side door of the house next door. Obviously, we are working with neighbors and police to get the knuckleheads next door out and/or in jail... whichever we can effect first. Bottomline: my wife and I are okay. No injuries. CSI:Boston uses little numbered cones just like they do on TV. So we had some little numbered cones in our condo, too. All of CSI reps looked like Gil Grissom clones. NONE of them looked like Sarah Sidle, Catherine Willows, or Sofia Curtis. They wouldn't let us take photos. As of last night, one person was arrested next door and this person didn't live next door. Arrested with drug possession with intent to distribute. Up until this event, our street had been very quiet. A state rep's/politician's family lives across the street. George
