First Lines of 2007

Hello, and welcome to 2007. I am in London, safe and sound, and with only a small bit of drama. Kitanzi and I are sitting at the gate at SFO, waiting to board. aiela pointed me at this video, thus demonstrating one of the many reasons I love her: Back in 1996, having been drug by me kicking and screaming onto the Internet, vila_resthal started submitting some of his fiction to an online fanzine called “The Dragon’s Lair”, which was run by a Baltimore fan named Roger Bennett. If cadhla participates in Blog Like It’s The End Of The World Day…..would anyone notice? kitanzi found this via StumbleUpon. The new issue of Aphelion Webzine went up on Wednesday, right on time. This has been a trip, thus far, of exceptionally useful voluntary purchases. I don’t usually mark birthdays here, because I know that I’d forget one sooner or later, but I couldn’t let the day go by without saying Happy Birthday to my darling sweetie, aiela. When asked to describe my musical tastes, the word I’d most often use is “eclectic”. And you can read all about it here!

What can I say? It was a year.
