Yesterday was my 55th birthday.

I mention this only because I wanted to once again thank people for their best wishes. I also want to thank my mother-in-law for that poem she wrote for me...

...and my wife, Susan Krinard, for the Nook...


...and friend Julia Myers for something that completely surprised me because I have no idea how she figured out I had been thinking of getting this...


Thanks, all of you!

Aaa! I'm so sad I missed it! Here's a belated Happy Birthday, Serge. Let us know how the Nook works out ... I'm going to get an e-reader one day soon, and I'm torn between the Nook, the Kindle, and that Sony one.

Thanks!

There are people who swear by the Kindle rather than at it. I stayed away from it, partly because I'm not too keen on helping expand Amazon's monopoly. Also, my research indicated that the Nook is a better machine, having learned from the Kindle's mistakes. As for Sony's machine, I haven't heard much about it.

By the way, I'm happy to say that the PDF of your novel "The Native Star" now resides inside my Nook.

Happy Birthday!

It's the same day that I adopted my first cats!

Caught in a time loop, eh?
