I'm more attuned to the Willy Ley style of science "fiction".

Oh crap. Not only did he die a month before the first moon
landing, but he died down the street from where I grew up at the
time. I'll try to find out if there's a plaque for him.


And I was only 29. Last night, at midnight, I turned 75 ;-)


You don't have a birthday this year. Next year you'll be 19.


Yep. 5 of my 8 grandchildren have had more birthday celebrations than
I me ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
