Saw the Chris Bachalo art for my story for the 9-11 Benefit Book. It's very wonderful. Destruction's in it, and it contains one of the most lovely drawings of Death Chris has ever done. (I can see it puzzling people who will read it and go "But hasn't Destruction quit?" and of course, he has, he's just working on the Ferris Wheel, but we only had 5 pages and it'll be a squeeze to get all the words in anyway, so that didn't get explained.)

Still reading The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents to Maddy, at a chapter a night. It's a wonderful novel -- really dark, as well crafted as any novel Terry's written, which is not surprising, but it also deploys all the things the different Terrys can do. The kind of book that could win, legitimately, awards for best fantasy, horror, SF or children's book.
