“Thirty-five Years of the Jack Williamson Lectureship”…

...is now a book, softbound, 19.00 from www.haffnerpress.com and it contains the interchanges between myself, Tim Powers, Jack Williamson; another one with Robert Silverberg; plus Fredrick Pohl; Joe Haldeman; and the list goes on. These are the literal recorded...

We got the door in…

Finished skating, went and picked up a new door at the valley store---measured it carefully, got it home, pulled the 'old' new door and shoved this one into the opening. Perfect. It opens. It closes. It's in balance. All we have to do is add a few shims for stability...
