Jay Lake

Jay Lake has passed away.

Back in 2008, I was at the worldcon in Denver. I was staying at the hotel across the street from the con center. After I got into the hotel's elevator, a distinguished older gent came in on a lower floor. Further down, Jay Lake did too and I said hello to him. He asked if he knew me. I said "No, I'm just a fan." Lake said, "There's no such thing as just a fan." At which the older gent - one Robert Silverberg - said "I'm a fan too."

That's my Jay Lake story.

After I ripped out the dead bushes - with my bare hands and I got the nicks to show fort it - and took the remains to the dump, I decided to skip going to the gym. I really needed to put together those bookshelf units, and I figured I'd get a good workout from that. They're still in the garage, but fully assembled, and with more shelves than originally designed for. I need to shuffle some things around in my work room before bringing the new units in.
