If I could be born again, I'd be a defensive coordinator. Hi Billy,

I have yet to meet another person who loves football more than me. If I could be born again, I’d be a defensive coordinator.

On the part of the Great Wall where that picture was shot, a woman followed us for two hours to try and sell us something. We finally promised we'd buy something from her if she'd leave us alone until we got back down to the bottom. Those are great questions about the tattooed leg. It sounds as if it might be your story to write. I've used all the other ideas I listed, but that one never generated anything for me. I'm happy to give it to you.

Neil. Two scrumptious things... I'm deeply jealous, as one of my goals in life is to get to visit China. Are they like Russia was towards Americans during the cold war? Do you get followed everywhere you go? I always fuigured Russia would have been the safest place to travel during the cold war... you'd have your own personal police escort everywhere, no-one would ever dare mug you... (Now who protects you from them becomes the question). Tattooed artifical leg, definitely worth crashing a car over. Was there a tattoo on the real leg the artificial one replaced? What's it of? Where on the leg? Why, why, why? Chinese food. Neil. Two scrumptious things… I’m deeply jealous, as one of my goals in life is to get to visit China.

But the Steelers? Argh. I was happy for Charlie Batch, and Joey Porter is the man, but, for the record, my son's peewee team is also 1-0 against the Dolphins. Heh. Great blog you have here.

My idea stopped there. Maybe you can run with it. Greg - I was definitely enjoying the fourth quarter better than the others. I have this bad habit of making Michael Jackson-like he-he-hee's when we sack a QB. That dreamy Neil Gaiman also happens to be one hell of a writer. Next time you're between books, I'll give you a recommendation. Aurelio - Can you tell me the colors in pin yin? I've accumulated some not terribly useful things to say: Her name is Little Cloud. You like, no you like stacking dolls? When you get your heelies, I'd like to see the photo. Especially of the first day, trying to get used to them.

And now I can say without hesitation, "Yes, I could eat Chinese food every day and never grow tired of it." Your comment about "heelies" made me remember this pair of old metal skates I saw at a swap meet the other day. You know, the kind that used to clip loosely onto your shoes (and sometimes fly off at inopportune times). That's what I had as a kid. Wow - they made a horrible metal-on-metal crapey sound when you skated that I'm actually nostalgic for. They also didn't work very well, even on hills. I'll have to get me some heelies.

I'm a life-long Browns fan... grew up in NE Ohio and lived in Cleveland for a bit. Thanks fer posting that there picture of mine. My workspace looked like that for two years, and now that I'm in Chicago I'm flanked by overflowing bookshelves and sitting at a much smaller desk. Now I'm eye level with the butt-end of a box of envelopes. Let the inspiration begin! I don't know this Neil Gaiman, but he sure looks dreamy.... Or to be dreaming of sunglasses in that picture. That would complete the leather jacket outfit. I can’t believe the Batch-led Steelers pulled it off last night. I’m a life-long Browns fan… grew up in NE Ohio and lived in Cleveland for a bit.

Do I dare admit the food I'm addicted to when I'm writing? Broccoli slaw (yes, there is such a thing) with cranberries, almonds and garlic dressing. Peter - Mr. Henderson speaks Mandarin - he had to learn in when he was in Taiwan, costuming operas. He says it's the easiest language he's ever tried to learn - no conjugating, no his and her objects, and the characters all make sense when you break them down. My kids are starting their 3rd year of Chinese, and in theory, I am, too. But honestly, I think I'm hopeless at it. I do speak sign language okay. Robin - Who says it's obsessive for one to think about Neil Gaiman shampooing his hair while she's driving? Mary - We should start one of those writers' bands, called The Cluttered Minds. I'll play tambourine. Frank - Isn't it, though? I can't even tell you how excited I am about your column tomorrow. It's literary smackdown! I'm incredibly impressed that you have volume control on your light-up Brooklyn Bridge. I hope you'll send me a photo of it. Lance - I think I do know how hard it is.
