Hey everyone!  Hi everyone! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyful Kwanzaa! This is by far my favorite time of year. People just seem happier and I kinda wish we all could keep that attitude year round. (Sorry if that sounds sappy) ...... More news in on Jules Verne -- it will premiere on the SCI-FI Channel on January 5th, at 10pm. If you check out www.scifi.com, they have a whole site and bulletin board devoted to the show. Please check it out and leave a message if you want ...... My favorite team (the Lakers if you don't know by now) are really rolling- even if Kobe is outscoring Shaq. My favorite player on the team is rookie point guard Mike Penberthy. I love his hustle. I sure wish I could shoot like him. Maybe Santa will bring me a jump shot this year :) ...... December also marks the one year wedding anniversary for Jana and myself. I can't believe it's been a year already! Seems just like yesterday that my beautiful! wife and I were walking down the aisle ...... I've been spending some time lately playing NBA2K1 on Sega's internet service, Seganet. I enjoy the competition of playing people from all over the country. Guess which team I usually play with? :) ...... Jana and I will be heading to North Carolina to celebrate this holiday season with my family and hers ...... We just saw Unbreakable -- while it's tough for any director to follow up a hit like The Sixth Sense -- M. Night Shyamalan did a pretty good job in creating a thoroughly enjoyable and crafty thriller ...... Even though it won't be until April, I am excited about Chuck Palahnuik's new book coming out. My wish is that he would be as prolific a writer as Stephen King. We both love his books ...... Once again, I'd really love it if everyone could check out Jules Verne on Jan. 5. Let me know what you think ...... If you enjoy this site, it is due largely to Robert, our most caring and fanta! stic webmaster. He's the reason it looks and reads as well as it does. We couldn't do it without him. Thank you so much, Robert ...... My wishes to everyone for a wonderful and safe holiday season. Talk to you next year!

Until then, have a great month!
