Tomorrow it begins.

1,667 words a day. For 30 days. In the hopes the end result will resemble a novel.

Lisa is acting like I'm about to leave town for four weeks. I hope it won't be that bad, but I really don't think I can have anything else planned if I expect to cross the finish line. I am thinking of attending the We Did It party in Oakland on December 1, though...

Over 3,000 participants this year, all over the world. 40+ in the Seattle area alone. I've talked at least five people into doing it, I hope they won't hold me responsible if they, um, don't enjoy themselves.

Happy Halloween, everybody. (And don't forget Sweeney Todd on PBS-- tonight or tomorrow night, check local listings.)

One disadvantange of the Dish network: the local PBS station isn't one of the local stations they offer when you sign up for "local" service, and there isn't any other PBS station in their lineup except PBS-U (without paying *another* fee).

Yeah. I'm paying for local channels, which gets me a couple of PBS'es, one of which will be broadcasting Sweeney. But not until tomorrow night.
