And today, on Under The Influence...

... I talk about what has probably been the single greatest influence in my writing life: E. E. "Doc" Smith.

Away... and without Email!

I'm heading out tomorrow for a conference in Washington, DC (well, actually, Crystal City, but same area). I won't be back until late Wednesday.

And today my Precioussss, my computer, decides it no longer has need of a recharging board.

So it's in the shop, and won't be done until I'm  gone, so for the first time in a long time I will be several days without any access to my Email, and only sporadic access to LJ or the web in general.

Just so everyone knows.
