All that talk of chips made me hungry. <br /><br />You should do well with your venture. You can write, sesign and photograph the cover (it's a brilliantly effective book cover), and act and voice the trailer. Looking forward to Camelot and Vine.

I hope he gets back to it.<br /><br />Desiree, you know whereof you speak!
