Article Excerpt:

Dateline: above the garage in Portsmouth RI, 5 September 2004

When I got done watching the show last night at 10:45 pm, I checked PNM's standing on Amazon. It was just above 2,000, after spending most of the day at around 500. Needless to say I was a bit bummed.

Then I checked my email accounts and found about 200 messages from people who saw the show. Maybe 4 could be considered negative, the rest wildly positive for the most part. That showed me that when I have the chance to really lay out the material, it goes over well.

How well?

When I got done responding to all those emails (yes, some people are never happy until you read the magnum opus they sent along with their comments), I checked back on Amazon and found the number down to 57.

More emails, and then it was down to 14 just before midnight.

Getting up this morning, it was 5 at around 9am, then 4 around noon, and now #3 at just before 3pm EST, with only the Swift Boats book about Kerry and some Susanna Clark novel (preorder only) ahead of me. God, would I like to knock out the Swift Boats Veterans book out of first place for more reasons than one. . .

So, I have to be pretty happy with the bounce. Only wish I got a slice of all those DVDs that CSPAN is going to sell . . ..
