Hearing Nothing at the moment

"One of Ohio's Finest Citizens"




Okay, this is kind of neat. In the mail today I received a commendation from the general assembly of Ohio for winning the Campbell Award and being nominated for the Hugo. I'm not entrely sure who told the Ohio general assumbly about either of those. Maybe someone in the assembly reads science fiction. However it works out, it's a nice thing to get.

    You should carry that with you as an state-mandated justification to walk around openly brandishing a shotgun.

    Just don't run for office, okay?  Your political views are fine, but we don't want anything to take you away from The Writing and The Family. - Karen
