Tomorrow's launch window is from 7:43 AM to 9:43 AM EDT.Folks reading here may recall my post about the Flesch-Kincaid scale, and how the author of Fiction Writer's Brainstormer, James V. Smith, Jr., recommended using it for improving one's writing. (That was the post that got me slashdotted by Neil Gaiman. Err, Neildotted?)
