  4. You have probably heard me say this before, but I'll say it again: I am a huge fan of Philip K. Dick, especially The Valis Trilogy. I only wish that he could have had more success while still living.

  9. National Holiday in U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico - PR "discovered" on this day in 1493 by Christopher Columbus, who first named it Isle of St. John the Baptist. Oddly, this island was already occupied by the Taíno people, who mysteriously disappeared soon after being discovered.

  12. I loved everybody's recommendations except the Gor books. I didn't like those. Re the Foundation Trilogy: I recommend that you also read the sequels and the prequels, and don't forget the connected Robot series. My recommendation: The Valis Trilogy, by Philip K. Dick (and everything else by Dick)
  13. I became an ordained ULC minister because a terrific group of vegetarian hippies in Atlanta in 1969 told me it was a good way to escape from orthodox religion. They were so right, and those were wonderful days. Then the world turned a few times, and I stepped off the Red Road to wander some very meandering paths. Then, thirty years later, I did it again, figuring I was expired from the first time. It is a VERY very different organization these days, in membership at least, due to the internet.
