The second book’s opening chapter is still in my mind, not on paper. I’m trying to get through the last 20 pages of the first, and I seem to have come up with a million reasons how not to finish it. (Mainly it's under the heading of "life happens.") But I’m working on it. I’ll post more this week with an update, thanks for checking on me… K, please push!

I, too, am out of shape (which hit home today while I was trying on clothes - ugh), so I'm afraid my companions might say "take her, she can't run as fast."

I also try to evaluate how I'd do on certain shows and I have to say my final assessment is always "Oh yeah, the adrenaline, and fight to live stuff would kick in and I'd be lying my ass off snapping people's necks just for fun. But mostly, having MS and being out of shape I might just throw up my hands and say "take me, baby. my work is done here..." Have a great weekend. Kathie Hi Susan, you’re cracking me up.

For the last few years no other show I liked turned out to be as good the next season (in my humble opinion)and/or it moved nights on me, and I lost track and interest. I guess I've always enjoyed the sci-fi/good guys rallying against evil kind of stuff -- within reason. So far Lost is working for me, especially since the lines shift between who is "good" and who is "bad." BTW, Cindy, your lame superpower made me laugh. Along those lines, maybe I could take the pale leg idea from my other post and blind the evil ones? Adam, glad to find a fellow Lostie. (I picked that up from the message boards.) I don't have many friends, so I watch the show alone. :) A Dharmatini sounds good right about now... J and C, I rarely watch TV but sort of stumbled on Lost earlier this year.

I also was late to land onto the island but thanks to the help of many friends and countless hours of watching episode after episode (for two weeks) I am in the game now. I have come to find you are either a Lost fan or you are not. There is a great divide out there and it all comes down to lack of commitment. Be careful the friends you watch it with, some will pause the tivo and have to ask questions. If you find yourself in this situation make a mental note not to invite them again but also take the batteries from the remote when they go to refill their Darma-tini (similar to a flirt-tini). Cheers! The future of the Island it held with you. Your cousin, Adam Susan,

Different details, but similar multiple threads. Also, I was distinctly disappointed with this season's conclusion. I try to keep up the suspension of disbelief but the writers seem to need to test me on it -- espeically in season finales. I don't know if I'd be useful in any way on Lost. I'm quite sure I'd have a lame superpower if I were on Heroes. I'd be "the girl who has incredibly dry skin and absorbs all moisture" or something. I'd be around for only one episode before some bad superperson would kill me. My only consolation would be that he wouldn't get any benefit form my superpower either.

My family is addicted to Lost. I haven't been able to get into it yet, but every September I vow to "get a show"! In this era when others are trying to limit their TV-intake, I'm trying to add to mine. I can't seem to commit to anything out there right now...except, of course, A&E's City Confidential. By the way, do you have the Lost t-shirts. My family loves them! Fun post, Susan! My family is addicted to Lost. I haven’t been able to get into it yet, but every September I vow to “get a show”!
