Sometimes your kids make you proud…
Bought a copy of Disney’s The Lion King for the kids a little while ago. Hate it myself, but thought they might like the songs. Played it for them last night and they didn’t want to watch it (too scary). They woke up this morning, though, and asked to watch Totoro while eating breakfast. Their staggering good taste just makes me proud.

Justine, who I can personally assure you is very cool, has just posted to her mumblings about receiving the galleys for her first novel, Magic or Madness, which is due for publication early next year. The cover looks terrific and I’m really interested to read the book. Her partner, Scott, has written some very fine books (which you should check out), and I’m fascinated to see what she’s come up with. Something to look forward to. Hmmm. Wonder if Scott’s finished that third novel yet…
