I don't know if it's quite sporting there, Terry, to swipe the second half of another guy's couplet....

     On a more peculiar note, SFWA, the Science-fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, gave me the Kevin O'Donnell Jr. Service to SFWA Award this past weekend because I've been hanging around for 20 years keeping a desultory eye on their Circulating Book Plan. This has come completely outta left field, but it was pretty fun, all told.
