Hmm, I didn't know it was in book form too... may have to look that up. Thanks!

yah i think i got both used at a cool bookstore in philly before it closed...*sigh*

and good luck and keep up with the writing! Ive been working on my novel more regularly too. It's hard sometimes to stay on track!

Stray ideas that don't fit in lure me to work on something else. Or just other time-killers (aka hobbies) want some luvin'... But I really want to get this particular piece finished. At least right now, ask me again in a couple weeks. ;)

Oh, James Burke...if more science teachers were like him, we'd not be lagging behind in that area. I <3 Connections. :)

Oh yeah. I definitely would have paid more attention in class if James Burke were my teacher!

You might want to check and see if they have The Day The Universe Changed, which is another of Burke's shows, just got released on DVD a little while ago.

James Burke made learning so much fun! :D

And I remember Planet Earth as being stunning.

omg... I think I have some of "Connections" on VHS, taped straight from the TV. I wonder if it's watchable after 20 years or so? :p
