...and just devoured the first 3 chapters of "Out of the Gray Zone."
This is good stuff. I see Bill St. Clair is passionate in his praise:
"Wow! Claire and Aaron have hit the ball out of the park, hit it out of the city, hit it out of orbit, hit the moon, and put a hole clean through. And that's an understatement. Tears dripped from my face. Tears of joy. Tears of anger sated. Tears of hope for our world. May it never get as bad as they envisioned. May we, each contributing as he or she can, prevent that future, and listen to that inner voice of what is right, what is decent, what is necessary, what must be. And make it so."
Now I need to go work for a few hours so I can be back in time for my 10-year-old son's electric guitar recital.
No rest for the wicked, or some such...

"Out of the Gray Zone" Arrived...
...in yesterday's mail, along with a very nice t-shirt. I got my order in early and got an autographed copy.
Can't wait to get to it--right now, in addition to working 7 days a week (plus many evenings) on my "real" job (which is typical for April through August), maintaining this blog, researching and writing my monthly GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column, giving the wife and kids the time of day, and keeping my house and yard chores from getting to the point where it would be easier just to torch the place, my time to read and then write reviews is a tad limited.
On that front, "Failing the Test," about JPFO's BATFU expose video, will appear in the next issue of GUNS, in stores around May 30--I'll do an announcement when it hits the shelves.
The editor gave me the green light to put something together on "The Black Arrow" in addition to my regular column, so that's another project in waiting. And I'm smack-dab in the middle of "Enemies Foreign and Domestic," which I want to read in one sitting, but which I'm finding difficulty getting to until bedtime--which means I generally make it about a page-and-a-half before exhaustion takes over.
But I'll get to "Out of the Gray Zone." It's just a question of when.
Oh, look--a package from the PO box--why, it looks like another book...
