So is The Children of Hurin the story of Turin son of Hurin? Because if it is I've already read that story in a little book I like to call The Silmarillion. Hm, I'm not going to buy it if I've already read it, yesterday, and already know how it ends. The story of Turin is sad and one of Tolkien's best.
The Cavs failed to squeeze out a victory last night. By the way, LeBron was mauled by Bowen as he gathered himself for that last shot. He had a legit gripe. But hey, gotta make those big guy, fouls or no fouls.
Which leads me to my next point. NBA refs have wayyyy (yep 4 "y's") to much control over the game. In what other sport can a player be removed from play just because he is playing the game hard? I ask you. Football? Nope your team is penalized yards for almost all infractions with a loss of down thrown in for good measure. Barring an all out brawl it is very difficult to be ejected from any of the big three (baseball, football, basketball) except for basketball. And don't even get me started about hockey, fighting is a part of that game, a part many fans look forward to (like me). I say after a player accrues six fouls either give him "penalty box" time or let the other team shoot free throws after every foul committed AND retain possession of the ball, or some such combination. But stop throwing players out.
I can't wait to get up to Michigan in July. I haven't been Up North since Christmas.

Yeah, bascially the same story. Expanded a bit...maybe double the length of whats in SM. Good stuff though. Rumors of a movie deal are still floating about.
I haven't read it yet. Shit, I haven't been home enough to. When you coming up in July, Matt? Would love to bump into if it works out.
I'd bump into you any day...seriously though we should get together.
We have to plan a get together. Where in MI are you going to be.
On another note, send me your manuscript.
