“I COUNT ONLY SUNNY HOURS”: A BOY IN THE WAVES. Uh, dueling psychics at Venice Beach. Unfortunately, not as funny as it sounds. Plot device cheerfully stolen from half a dozen pseudo-sci-fi books and TV shows; I first encountered it in Stephen King’s Dead Zone, the first third of which is top-notch King with the successive thirds deteriorating apace. Anyway, this is really short and will have a point by the end. I expect to have it done by Monday. As always, your comments and criticism are encouraged.
