Six months ago, if someone told me that the posting that would generate the most comments would be about a British science fiction writer (E. C. Tubb) and that the I would receive the most vehement comments as a result of a lukewarm review of a 73 year old performer (Leonard Cohen), I would have thought they were crazy. I want to thank Bill, Patti, Jeff, Art, Rick, Todd, Tina, Cap’n Bob, Steve, Beth, Drongo, Fiona, Grady, Pat, Ed, David, Philip, Fay, Craig, Lee, Anna, and all the commentators who keep this blog alive. Special thanks goes to my son, Patrick, who created this blog for me as a Christmas present, my daughter Katie, who monitors its content and keeps me from being too politically incorrect (it’s not her fault when I go over the line), and my wife, Diane, who deals with my obsessive/compulsive tendencies with patience and amusement. Thank you, thank you all.
