I lost the framed original of this while I was going through St Pancras on Sunday Nov 2nd around 3pm. Would love if it had been found by anyone?

That was actually 1982 (#158) -- Kitty writes the virus, they infiltrate the Pentagon to install it into the government's computers, and Rogue (still a villain) attacks them in the process.

Took me forever to learn that even though Uncle V and Uncle S were related to each other (and had the same last name), Uncle V was one of my father's second (third?) cousins, while Uncle S was completely unrelated to us. Their wives we called aunts, their kids, cousins.

the Unknowables One of the biggest attractions I have to Zelazny's work is that he was a real artist at keeping my attention, even when his authorial decisions don't seem to make sense. Or rather, maybe I'm just sometimes kicked out of the story by his authorial choices. On the other hand, I've never read anyone as exciting as when Zelazny is in the groove.

huge dragon (only the head visible) resting in a body of water in a forest. Lots of vines and tree branches dangling down, a stream running over its head and a great white egret taking off from the water next to it.

a mermaid with a pink tail resting on a rock and leaning back on her hands as her tail comes out of the water. In the background is a lagoon and some cliffs and further back the hint of a waterfall

a precarious tall hill with a wizard's house sitting on top of it with a wisp of smoke coming out of the chimney. It is dusk and all the windows are yellow with the light from inside.

@crookedtunes.bsky.social and I saw David Francey at the Ark with a crowd about that size around the time his third album came out. Most of us could sing along with all the songs on his first two albums, so it was a fun vibe…

Extra perplexing because the score itself almost works as a perfectly functional, sometimes great, book. And yet every time they try to flesh out the story a bit, it makes everything worse...
