Rain and More Rain

During the past week or so, we've had the heaviest and most consistent rain here in Austin that I've experienced during the six years that we've lived here, and according to the weather man, we can expect it to continue for the rest of this month.
That's great, since we've been in a drought for the past few years. The only problem is that it's often dangerous to drive in this stuff, so errands are getting delayed. A few days ago, I was driving in a downpour and I could hardly see six feet ahead of me.
My new stage play is coming along well. I've been working on it a week or so, averaging two pages a day.
I'm also informed by Fred Frees, who is narrating the audio version of MURDER IN BABYLON, that he's recorded the last four chapters of the book. He now has to edit them, so I'm hoping he'll send them to me sometime this coming week.
Being somewhat housebound because of the weather, I've been watching some older movies from my home library this past week. I've watched (and enjoyed) BATTLE CRY, CLOAK AND DAGGER (the one with Henry Thomas), EXTREME MEASURES, OLIVER! and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. If you haven't seen any of them, they all hold up quite well.
You have a creative week.
Michael
