I am particularly fascinated by your "casting Lymond" feature. I always thought that Peter O'Toole would have been ideal. I think it would have to be a British actor (though not necessarily a Scottish one). The rest of your list was excellent, very well thought out. In this age of dumbing down, however, I fear the time for a literate subtle hero is over. Perhaps TV? I'm a big fan of HBO and have thoroughly enjoyed their offerings. Does anyone else out there have any ideas? I have spent most of the morning reading the website and this new site (don’t tell my employers!).

Does anyone else out there have any ideas?

It should be a great format for you, perhaps not so time-consuming to use as a webpage, and therefore more spontaneous. You are such a fine writer that your quick posts or long pieces will be a pleasure to read. I really look forward to exploring DD with you again! Congratulations on the birth of your blog!
