    Don't know if it's a re-post or not. Patrick Dempsey will be playing Denny Swift.

    I haven't had the chance to read the book yet.

    Is the book out in paperback yet? I am not paying hardcover prices for a novel.

    I went to Amazon, typed in "racing in the rain" and there you go. The paperback.

    $8.99

    My wife listened to it as an audiobook (from the local public library, for those who don't like to pay for things) and loved it. So we bought a copy.

    Anybody want to take a guess as to where Patrick Dempsey and Garth Stein first met?

    I think they had to close them down along with all the state parks...spent all the money on who knows what.

    Couldn't Cali arrange to have the Guvernator do a few flicks in office per year to balance the budget?

    Not unless you want to make the problem worse!!

    Case in point :

    Cali's deficit:
    $42 and then 9 zeroes behind it

    Rise of the Machines (last Arny movie):
    Domestic gross - $150 and 6 zeroes
    Production budget - $200 mill

    =fail

    Ding ding ding...winnar! I can't say that it was actually at the GRM tent, but Garth was whisked away for a meeting with Patrick after one of the guided pit tours with a Mazda rep. (Dempsey was driving an RX-8 this year.)
