As of 5:00 P.M. PST today....

....I am on VACATION!

Just a short one. I go back to work Tuesday. But I have six glorious days in a row where I don't have to go to the office, I don't have to think about work or quotas or deadlines or reports. I can sleep as late as I wish and stay up if I want. I might actually finish that bedamned epic science fiction novel I've been reading for the last month (curse you, Kim Stanley Robinson)! And maybe read something a little lighter as well. Awww, bliss....

We have yet more in common. Both of us will return to work on the same day! So cool.

Something lighter to read. Hmmm ... isn't Kim Stanley's husband Spider? Perhaps some Callahan's bar stories are just what you need. Have you read Lady Slings the Booze?

Enjoy!

Haven't read any Spider Robinson that I recall. But I rather doubt the two Robinsons are married to each other. Same sex marriages aren't legal in California. (KSR is male.) [grin]

and Spider's from Canada. I'm sure his wife is also a writer, but obviously I've gotten the name wrong.

Since you've not read him, I'd recommend starting at the beginning, with Time Traveler's Strictly Cash

Her name is Jeanne (http://www.spiderrobinson.com/jeanne.htm). I looked through the Spider Robinson website. I think I will give him a try next time I go to the bookstore. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thank you. You've just saved me hours this evening.

Ahem. The apostrophe police have arrived.

Exactly. Thank you.

Hey, wait! That's usually my job!

No, the important thing is that it's right. It doesn't matter how it gets that way, or who makes it that way.
