LMNAO!!! This surprises me not in the least, having lived in big cities for most of my life. I live in Atlanta now and, a few years back, I was taking public transportation to run errands. Waiting at the Five Points Station downtown for a northbound train, I saw two men engaged in a li

A slippery slope, indeed. Some of the characters I write are visually based on real people, living or dead (for anyone who's read any part of the main story I'm working on, my Harkness character is the visual image of Phil Lynott, the late, great bassist/lead singer for Thin Lizzy), and I would

Personally I'm primarly for this. Mostly because it will result in the return of actual actors instead of movie stars (which we have most of now). -GTW In a message dated 1/6/09 9:47:19 AM, dar...@darylelockhart.com writes: > > A slippery slope, indeed. > > > > Some of the characters I writ

I held on for a solid year trying to watch Mutant X, mostly because it aired on Saturday afternoons here in Atlanta. Typically I get up early on Saturdays, do two hours of aerobic weighlifting and yoga at the gym, take my wife to brunch, run errands, maybe work in the yard. Then I come in around
