   Tim, you must (if you haven't) see _WonderBoys_. Among the movies many
wonderful little aspects is that the writer who hasn't published a darn
thing in some time doesn't have writer's block; he has writers diahriahha
(sp!). His novel is 2621 pages long, amost as long as "Hapworth."
Anyway, recommendation to all: see the film. It's Michael Douglas's best
performance.

   Oh god, tim, you hit the nail on the head with this one. I can just
see Papa doing this. I can just see everyone ignorning him. Outstanding.
