I’ve managed a couple of new countries every year for the last few years, but none so far in 2007. But now the potential opportunity for a very interesting business trip has come up, for mid-December, which will involve at least two new countries, even if one is still trying to get its status regularised. Will keep y’all posted.

I think a lot of it is the characters. I felt like I really understood Scott and Diana (and also all the cultural references were not just things I was familiar with but things I was raised on). Pete and Sukie and Kootie and Angelica, less so (and less so). Until I checked the reviews of Earthquake Weather on Amazon, I’d forgotten its plot and characters entirely.
I’d never thought about how Last Call would read to someone who didn’t grow up reading Arthurian legends, giving Tarot readings, studying math, and playing poker. I guess I can see how it would be confusing as hell!
