   Did the Sasquash really make your uncles head fall off? Because if so, I might start locking myself in my room each night.

   Great tips for young writers, Patrick. Thanks for taking the time to create these. The music sounded inspired by Jerry Goldsmith’s score to MEDICINE MAN. Was it? Regardless, it’s a wonderful soundtrack — as are all by Goldsmith — to write to.
