I have nothing to show for the past many weeks since my last post, unless you count a fine review at Tangent SF of my story "Test" in Lightspeed Magazine. Mostly, I have been following the Republican presidential primary race; I confess I had expected my interest to flag once Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich dropped out, but Mitt Romney turns out to be a gift that keeps on giving. It is becoming all too clear that he, like George W. Bush before him, is a malignantly narcissistic sociopath. I hope to see him get his ass handed to him in November.
Later: I have completed the ArmadilloCon 34 programming survey, by means of which the con committee supposedly will figure out what to do with me, and now I have galley proofs of a story called "The End in Eden" to correct for Analog. Tomorrow being Mother's Day, I shall honor me sainted gray-haired mum's request that I attend services at her church. In her heart of hearts, she always hopes I'm going to have a conversion experience just any moment now -- never mind that I'm an atheist of long standing and deep conviction. Ah, well, I don't mind too much. I shall treat this as an opportunity for sociological observation.
My current bedside book (incidentally) is The Open Conspiracy: H. G. Wells on World Revolution, edited and with a critical introduction by W. Warren Wagar.
