Even Nixon had clips on Laugh-In. In the fits he said โ€Sock it to me?โ€ In the second he said โ€œA year ago I said โ€™Sock it to me. You can stop now.โ€™โ€

We were deeply annoyed that there wasnโ€™t a definitive end. I get what they were trying to do (I write and have left some stories open-ended), but frankly after 90 minutes we were well invested and both felt a bit pissed. One star. โญ๏ธ

This is all because several women told a demented old man he had small balls.

Nebula Issue 6

The current on-line issue of NEBULA is out. Pages 64-72 (just over 2K words) is my story "NO THING BESIDE REMAINS." It's short and simple and I think one of the best things I've ever written. I hope you'll give it the 5-7 minutes it needs. online.fliphtml5.com/kdqtq/jssu/#...

Yesterday was a good day. One story published, another posted as earning an Hon. Mention in a big contest, AND I saw a photo I took on a museum wall.

Also James Lick got rich building pianos in California and selling them to South America. He decided to buy land in San Francisco and build a Great Pyramid sized monument to himself. A friend suggested philanthropy instead, and perhaps the worldโ€™s most modern observatory. Itโ€™s still used today.

The pyramids comment reminds meโ€ฆ 25 years ago the Sci-Fi Writer Robert Sawyer had a throwaway line of Trump building a pyramid twice as big as the Great Pyramid in the Nevada desert as his tomb.

Ironically one of Redfordโ€™s
