I have seen some of that before. But in this case, the scenes kind of required it to be seen through Tick's umm... unique point of view.Ron Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05401859974073059650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648274871264107501.post-22413316820919366352008-01-24T22:35:00.000-07:002008-01-24T22:35:00.000-07:00You made it!

The only critics that matter are the accountants, and I'm certain they will be plenty happy.<BR/><BR/>Lets get Master Mangum to arrange us on a lunch.

As you know, my 11-year-old thinks you're the next best thing to sour candy and squirty cheese. As he told you in his letter, you're his new favorite author and "13th" is his new favorite book. Relax and enjoy, my friend! And thanks for writing back to Tommy.
