My girlfriend recently read me my horoscope from Rob Brezsney’s Freewill Astrology:

Since 1921, the official length of a marathon race held anywhere in the world has been 26.2 miles. Runners train for that specific distance. That’s why many participants in this year’s Lakeshore Marathon in Chicago were confused at the end of the race. Their times were surprisingly slow and they were more fatigued than they’d anticipated. It was only a few days later that marathon officials announced the course had been laid out mistakenly: There was an extra mile. I think you can expect an analogous development in your life, Leo. The finish line will be farther than you expected–maybe farther than is fair. Should you stop before the end and complain? Or should you complete the task and then complain? I’ll leave that up to you.

Puce has been having trouble getting me the WAV versions of the album masters. It’s done, I swear, mastered and everything. I’ve heard high-quality mp3s, they are great. But I don’t want to make the final album file with them. So, as soon as I get the WAVs I will put the album together and will post it here.

This is more in response to my own impatience than hordes of e-mails demanding the release of the album. Someday, someday I’ll have to deal with hordes of e-mails. Thronging, angry hordes with fire shooting from their nostrils and bloody horns on their heads.
