I had a crappy night last night. Clammy, headache, didn't take Nyquil (which was a mistake). I thought I was turning the corner but still got the head cold. Bad dreams. The Top Secret Project is a mess. I have nothing. I'm a loser. Nothing new. Ha.

Last night I was interviewed on Terry Ike Clanton's podcast: it was a "Live" Old West Video Webcast (7PM pst) from TombstoneArizona.com and the Haunted Saloon. Ike Clanton and Bruce "The Bartender" interviewed me. We had fun. Terry's a good guy. Always has some new angle to promote. Evidently podcasting is getting huge. I'm not quite hip to that scene, but I've read about a history teacher, named Lars Brownworth, who has a hit on the Byzantine Empire, of all things. It has become a phenom with 140,000 listeners. Amazing. How many avenues of media are we going to be able to actually use? Evidently, more than I ever dreamed of using. I'm still trying to learn how to take a picture with my phone.

We're working hard on a big Billy the Kid issue in conjunction with the Albuquerque Museum (May 12th opening). Paul Hutton is curating a big show on the Kid and he wrote us a smashing cover story. Dan already executed the cover and it's in the can. Need to come up with new cover heads. Meeting with our newsstand consultant at ten.

Robert Ray and I are going to start laying out the prototype today. I don't know if it's the cold or my attitude, or both, but I don't feel very confident at this time.
