On the local news, we had a story about a pizza delivery dude who was robbed at gunpoint. The thieves took $100 and four pizzas! Then we had another story about a guy who removed a window air conditioner from a church building, went inside found a package of hot dogs in the fridge, ate them and a can of beans, then left. :rofl:

I started reading the most entertaining book last night. The Looking-Glass Wars by Frank Beddor. It’s the real story of Alice in Wonderland. ;) According to this novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass were nothing but lies. Alice is really Princess Alyss Heart of Wonderland who is transported via the Pool of Tears to Victorian England when her Aunt Redd overthrows the queendom of Wonderland. The Mad Hatter is actually Hatter Madigan, Royal Bodyguard. The White Rabbit? He’s really Bibwit Harte, Alyss’s tutor. And the Cheshire Cat is an assassin who works for Redd Heart. Not a nice cat at all!

It’s a very clever book (the first of a trilogy) and I’m enjoying it a lot. Even if devout Lewis Carroll fans find it offensive. I think it’s great fun! :)

Watched my recording of 24 last night. Kind of a boring episode, over all. But I sure didn’t expect the Bluetooth guy from last season to be Jack’s brother!!! Wow. And how did that geeky little creep get such a hot wife???

I wrote about 2/3 of a page yesterday. Once I found my synopsis I was annoyed to discover I went way off base the other day so I need to back up and regroup. :cursin:

  4. An outline shouldn’t be a prison. If you veer off, it’s often a good thing. Trust your story.
