Evacuation Plan

My brother Joe writs columns about the Texas film industry for The Austin Chronicle and Dallas Morning News. His novel Evacuation Plan about life in a residential hospice is slated for release by Dalton Publishing in June 2007. In his spare time, ahem, he also teaches writing to graduate students at St. Edward's University and to undergrads at Austin Community College. But the biggest news in his life is the birth of my nephew Nicholas Drake. He is really enjoying singing (badly) to him, less so staying up all night and getting pooped on.
