In which my brother got a new drum kit. This is one of the dozen images my brother emailed me of his new drum kit. On the phone today he told me, “My new drum kit is so hot it’s going to have my kids. As soon as I find its vagina, that is.” In […]
In which I admit publicly that I no longer loathe RAH. I received Off The Main Sequence as an automatic monthly selection from SFBC. Last year I read an ebook of Heinlein’s non-fiction and decided I might be willing to forgive him for Stranger In A Strange Land and Friday and all that other incestuous […]
