Whoa, it's been a long time. Before I disappeared I was getting about 50 hits a day to this here blog where I write of everything and nothing at the same time. I don't know if that's a lot or a little, but it seemed pretty good to me. During baseball playoffs, I was seeing about 80 folks here a day. Then, I vanished like a fart in the wind -- that's what the warden said when Andy Dufresne escaped from Shawshank. Of course, my disappearance didn't involve Rita Hayworth or a sewer of crap.
No, I disappeared because my job changed and I got really busy. A good kind of busy. Very rewarding. I was working more which cut into my leisure time, which is what Stories is. Leisure. I'm here to fill you in on what I didn't write.

I will list the shows that a) I have programmed to tape, and b) I make it a point to see every week. Here's a day by day listing of the shows that are must-see for me.

I've been meaning to praise Don Coscarelli's Incident On and Off a Mountain Road that kicked off Showtime's new series Masters of Horror. Since I haven't written though, it's been kind of difficult to convey my feelings.
It was killer. The production values were high. The acting was excellent. The story, created by Joe Lansdale and screenwritten by Coscarelli and Stephen Romano, was intense. I'm excited for the rest of the series and have Dreams in the Witch House on my DVR right now. Once I get up the nerve, I'll watch that.
