Obviously you're missing those. Katie Sis, thanks! MJG, believe me, I thought about whether I'd be able to give up talking about <em>Lost</em>. I have to be strong. But yes, it will help that it's going on hiatus for a month to catch up with the writers' strike. Whew. And maybe I will make emergency <em>Lost</em> postings if there's something just too juicy to ignore. Jessica, thanks for the chuckle. I already forgot about that un-porn discussion. Thanks for looking forward to the next books! Patrick, feel free to host the Tuesday Book Club and the Friday List on your blog in my absence for a while. Obviously you’re missing those.

Katie Sis, thanks!

What about your LOST comments? Oh, wait a minute!! You timed your writing at the almost end of LOST season, tricky!! OK, go write but if you read or hear anything about our characters, please make an emergency entry in your blog.

That's my wish, too! Elaine, you're so right about the addictive properties of blogging. We love it, but let's all admit to its time-sucking properties. I'll miss the play, but I'll value the time regained. And Liz, you are such a pal for saying that! I didn't realize sugar and blogging were connected that way. I gladly accept your permission to give up only one at a time. (Although I'm still working on keeping the sugar at a minimum. Because it really does help my brain and creativity not to be so stoned on chocolate and other delicacies.) Thanks, y'all! May the story come to you readily and engagingly.
