Hi,

I know that it's been a while since I've blogged, but, well the dino business is kinda slow right now.  For some reason when the economy slows down schools, for some odd reason, don't hire dino guys.  What's up with that?

I did get some great news tonight though.  My friend Dinosaur George Blasing (his website is http://www.dinosaurgeorge.com) interviewed little old me for his monthly newsletter.  George was the host and head writer for The History Channel's "Jurassic Fight Club."  He and I were in business together in Texas and still collaborate on projects from time to time.  I was brilliant in the interview, of course.  If you're interested in reading it please email me at dave@capndavedinosaurs.com and I'll forward it to you.

Now, many of my paleontologist friends are not fans of "Jurassic Fight Club."  The History Channel wants its paleontology shows to be entertaining and sometimes this caused George to, let's just say, go a bit too far in being entertaining and not going far enough with accuracy (I'm trying to be nice, which is not a normal thing for me).  I sent George critiques on each episode after their showings, but I would like to point out to my paleontologist friends that George has done a lot to get folks excited about dinosaurs and paleontology.  I'm willing as a paleontology teacher to fix some of his errors in my shows if I have more excited folks to lecture to.

Another feature of this month's Dinosaur George Newsletter featured my dear friend, Paleo-Artist Kristine Wendt.  If you request a copy of the newsletter you'll see examples of her incredible artwork.  I'd post some here, but I don't have her permission.  Besides being wonderfully talented she's also much prettier than I am.  And, let's face it, that's hard to do.  I mean, let's face it; I am really hot. 

Well, that's all for now.

P.S.  I may have some huge news soon.  More to come.
