Now I know for sure that I've reached a place I can relax for a while.

I fell in love and would have left my now ex-husband for Harlan Ellison when I read Shatterday. I'm a trekkie from way back. I think the only time I ever wrote to the networks was when they pre-empted Star Trek. The first time they took it off the air I freaked.

I have read and love everything Asimov ever wrote. Even "Over the Edge". Even his non-fiction. Did you know when he was alive his phone was listed in the Boston phone book? I never could get up the nerve to call though. What would I say? I love you?

Wild story.. after reading Azimov for ever, I read anything with his name on it. One time I was in a library and found an old book called "The Oceans of Venus" by our hero. Of course, I took it home and started reading. About one quarter the way through, I knew what was going happen before it happened. Then it slowly dawned on me that I had read this before. When I was very young..it is possible that this book was the reason for my love for SF. I think it was, but I had forgotten it. I only remembered scenes from it.

"Amazing" magazine and "Azimov" magazine were regular favorites of mine. My first Anne McCaffrey, "The Crystal Singer" was amazing, but her Dragon stories were my favorites for a very long time. I didn't know she had a show coming to the set. Now I'll watch for it. I don't get to TV very often. Only on Wednesday at 9PM.

I'm in great company.

Love, annap
