Has anybody heard from her? The catbox isn't the same without her educational contributions and interesting point of view.

I didn't make the mistake of calling Maria by Azizi's name but my first thought was that it was she.

Also, did Donuel make it? He was hoping to be a day tripper.

There were a number of people missing. Especially Joe Offer - we knew that - but whree was Pene Azul? Doesn't Jeff come every year?

We'll have to twist Azizi's arm and get her to attend the Getaway next year. I'll be there next year, for sure. Missing it this year was just too traumatic.
I e-mailed Azizi. I'm sure she'll pop up soon.

Wow! Thanks for the thread folks.

I just returned from visiting with extra-terrestials on the planet Tertius in the year 4109AD {give or take a couple of years depending on how you measure time}.

Well, actually I just got back from a business trip in which I had to do without the Internet, and I missed you guys and gals too!

I have a whole lotta reading to do to catch up with what's been happening-like the Getaway for example. I'm sure it went well.

As to whether I will be able to attend next year. Well, I'd love to say "Definitely!!!" But I have this open invitation to visit Mars and Venus and might not be back in time.

I missed you guys and gals. Thanks again for thinking of me.

You're going to be busy if you're trying to read those Getaway threads. They fill up FAST!

Well, three times is a charm, so let me say it again:

I've missed you guys and gals.

And I'm sure I missed out on some good times, too.

But my trip went well so life is good.

See ya around the 'Cat!

Repaire and Peace,

You both get gold stars for catching my reference to the Heinlein book "Time Enough For Love".

Congratulations!!!

And is anyone up to some time travel?

Love that book. There is a 'cowboy' story in the middle of it somewhere. Neat. Takes place on a far-off planet. Heinlein had Lararus burning all the money that people put in the bank for safe keeping. Neat ide, since they were just paper takin' up room.

Hmmmm.... I like the philosophical underpinning here, "paying it forward."

I grew UP on Heinlein. I think I now have everything he wrote, including "A Tramp Royale" and "Take Back Your Government." My friend Spider Robinson is writing a book about his relationship with the Heinleins; it's due out next year -- Spring, I think.

Rah, rah, RAH!

Glad to hear you had a good trip, Azizi.

Do any of the Heinlein types on this thread remember a short story by him called, "All You Zombies"? (Or something like that... )

Yes. About the guy who was his own father and mother, I believe....
