New board game
"Age of Empires III" is the latest board game in the collection. It looks great. Will play and advise forthwith.

Cheapest gas in years
That's what I paid in Holly Springs today.

Special Interest Groups
I love Skipper's Fish Fry in Apex. It's one of my favorite restaurants.
But I wish they'd stop caving in to special interest groups.

Another Way to Die
I just heard "Another Way to Die," the new James Bond theme, sung by Jack White and Alicia Keys.
It sounds like an elephant having a seizure at Williams-Sonoma. What a horrible thing it is. Once upon a time, these Bond themes were classy, good songs.
We have gone from "Nobody Does It Better" to this heaving, seizing, screaming grunts of "Another Way to Die." I'm almost 30. I'm aging out of the demographics Hollywood cares about. They're turning the page on me.
The declining quality of 007 theme songs is another indicator of Western society coming in for final approach.
Full flaps.
Gear down.

"Coming Back"
I'm very excited about a new project debuting next month here on brianshrader.com.
I have written a radio play called "Coming Back," and we gathered a bunch of talented people to record it. It chronicles the career comeback of "McGuff the Crime Pup." He misses the fat old days of stardom, and he seeks to reclaim the high life when an innocent ad agency tracks him down to record some two-bit public service announcements. We finished production this weekend, and it turned out nicely.
You can listen to it (and download it) starting December 6. It's my Christmas gift to one and all. The concept also inspired a song called "Coming Back." I'll post that November 15.
This is the first production of the "KRAP Radio Playhouse," and I hope it's not the last.
Laughs guaranteed -- or your money back.
