HELLO! CAN ANYONE READ THIS?

2190 IO | DR MARTIN LAMBERT

[Tax-chick]

That could be fun two or three times :-). I’ll get another next time we’re at the library.

[nina0113]

If they have Cordelia's Honor, by Lois McMasters Bujold, you might try that out (science fiction, suitable for boys), and Vision of Light, by Judith Merkle Riley (historical fiction, not really a boy book).

[Tax-chick]

Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for both of those.

[sionnsar]

Bye all. If I can get the household ready, we’re off on vacation.

[Monkey Face]

I knew I had a book here that Bill would like. I had to hunt the durn thing down, though!

“Escape From Earth ~ New Adventures In Space” Short sci-fi stories about teens. There are seven stories, but I’m hard-pressed to pick a favorite.

Some of them put me in mind of The Last Starfighter. All are good, though. No sex, hardly any recognizable cussing.... Good fun stories.

[Tax-chick]

Thanks! It’s raining again here. I had Anoreth take Tom and the little girls to the pool this afternoon.

[Monkey Face]

I can’t help but wish the pool was about two miles closer to here....

I was out in the stuff for three hours this morning, and I was NOT a happy camper. The “new” doctor I had decided he knew more about me than I did, and that set the tone for the rest of the morning. *blech*

Anyway, I’m not out in it,and I’m getting ready to fix myself something good to eat...grilled veggies and a hugh hamburger patty! Maybe with chee! And a glass of wine!

[Tax-chick]

Sounds wonderful. We’re going to church for Spanish choir practice - we’ve outgrown our house :-).

[Monkey Face]

Uh-oh...no more closets?

I've been occupied today with knitting the plot elements of something that could be stretched to fit these definitions. Sort of a "juvenile", if you will. I'd have to get started on it soon, or the kid would be grown before I finished.

Tentative working title, "Welcome Home for Prometheus".

[Monkey Face]

What is this: SUMMER?

Where is everyone? Which Habitat are y’all hiding out in? I thought maybe some of you would be in the moat, but darned if I can find anyone.

Ohno. Don’t tell me... The Dwarves are loose in the Lower Levels again because it’s mating season, right? *shudder* Someone needs to get the Dust Bunnies out in force....

We can’t have this kind of chaos!

[Old Sarge]

And there’s a Balrog in the woodpile...

[Monkey Face]

Will this be a slightly diverted book? I mean, not your usual genre?

Biggest query: Will I LIKE it?

[Monkey Face]

YOIKS!

How did THAT get loose?

[Tax-chick]

Too many drums. And the dragons have doubled in size in three weeks.

[Monkey Face]

Egads!

The drums! Why didn’t I think of that?

(DOUBLED???? Perhaps we’ll need a fourth Habitat...?)

[Tax-chick]

(DOUBLED???? Perhaps we’ll need a fourth Habitat...?)

Either that, or get *real* friendly with Slash and Santana. Mind your extremities and don't act like a cricket.

[Monkey Face]

...Mind your extremities and don't act like a cricket.

You'll not see me rubbing my legs together....

[NicknamedBob]

"Will this be a slightly diverted book? I mean, not your usual genre?"

I'll try to clean it up a little.

"Biggest query: Will I LIKE it?"

Hard to tell. At the moment it seems a bit short.

Hint: What does carrying a sword have to do with space exploration?

How else can you slay the intergalactic dragons, beasties, and otherwise unkempt denizens of odd planets?
