I discovered that the OUTLANDER graphic novel goes on sale in a few weeks. September 21 can't come fast enough, haha - THE EXILE should be interesting, if nothing else! Got an email and attempted phone call from Auntie Vivian, who wondered if I were going to the lunch tomorrow - if I can't get a ride home, I won't. Of course, she set an impossible deadline of 4 to let her know... lovely!
