HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR PRATCHETT!


It almost makes me wish I believed in astrology so that I could think we had something in common.

Ah! I remember "Einar" now! He gets married and has kids, right? (do they fly?) I can't remeber if he ever made it home (I'll just have to read it again!) Dang - "Frost and Fire" sounds scary!
You should come out to Comic-Con if you want to meet The Man!

Yes, you are correct!

Nope, his kids don't have wings and he never flies again, but he discovers a wonderful way to fly and while teaching the kids how to fly a kite.

Frost and Fire is more sad than scary. The great idea of the story is that a few young people decide not to accept their destination and try to figure a way to get people off the planet and its deadly gravity- sped up lifecycle. What they do is pretty original.

Wow- I did not realize he would be at Comic Con. I should look into it. Thanks for the tip.

Oh yeah - now I remember about the kite! Heh - I must have read that back in high school! Or was it junior high?
Bradbury comes every year (as he also does to the LA Festival of Books) and probably will continue to do so as long as he can do anything at all. Last year they had a great panel wiht him, Forrie J. Ackerman, and Ray Harryhausen chatting away and reminiscing.

No that would be a nice memory to have, just to hear those three great ones chew the fat together. They have created a legacy that has impacted so much of today's perceptions of science fiction, fantasy and movie special effects.

Yes. Amen!
