I am already thinking forward to November of 2007. I haven't even edited my book from 2005, and my 2006 book isn't even worth editing! But I want to be in November - I want to be writing! Anyone else miss that thrill of...

pacodecabra I agree that it will take a lot longer in other parts of the world. And as the recent Congressional elections showed, we're fairly sick of him now as well.

pacodecabra I've got the legs, and I'm certainly not too skinny. Might have to lose a bit around the midsection. And is it true that a real man doesn't wear anything under the kilt?

pacodecabra I only have 3 pairs of boots (cowboy boots, of course). Here's a question from the application: If you are chosen as Queen, will you spend the entire Empire's budget on boots? Although I must add that black leather boots are the King's favorite :)
