Yikes--thanks for passing this along!
Chimay is delicious. Discovered it (as well as Three Philosophers, which I also recommend) over the last Easter holiday.
Of course, it being summer, my current fave is Tequila on the rocks, with sprite--and then fresh squeezed orange juice (it HAS to be fresh squeezed right from the oranges) on top.
Cheers.
Still, have we so thoroughly run out of history that all we get is repeats?
Sadly, yes.
Rob, I do still have it, lovingly stowed away in my SF bookcase. It would be great if it was available on shelves to reach new readers. My experience with Borders and B&N is that they tend only to carry whatever RCW's latest is.
Even when he swings and misses (to continue the baseball metaphor) RCW keeps your attention because he's always trying to put the ball in a new part of the field.
(I loved Harvesst and wish someone : ) would bring it back into print)
This is my first (gulp) convention where I will be on panels and not just a mouse sitting in the corner...I'm excited about the Pullman/Lewis panel, though because I'm currently reading both for the first time at the same time, as a sort of test. (I read Lewis's Space trilogy years ago, which sort of turned me off his fiction).
Also Friday at 9PM--I'm supposed to talk about the development of Big Bang theory via my book on Lemaitre. This may not be a great session, as my wife won tickets to a wine-tasting festival the same early evening...so I could well be shit-faced by the time I have to talk.
I hereby apologize to anyone in advance who drops by....
Well...
I didn't realize David Brin and Orson Scott Card were...well, pro ID types.
What up with that?
:)
While I have no memory of Kennedy's death, I do remember the moon landing, and Chappaquiddick in summer 1969, because my dad was a managing editor at the Boston Herald Traveller, he was on the phone all the time, even when we were vacationing, and in spite of his busyness that summer seemed very idyllic.
I was probably standing in front of the boob tube, watching Romper Room with a dump in my pants and a thumb in my mouth....
:)
I should add that our faculty were very attentive to warming all tools to keep the patient's discomfort to a minimum.
Heck. Just try filming someone lying in stirrups...
:)
Design quirks? How about the location of the male prostate?
That took some forethought.
Jeez....
Awesome, Teresa. What we need now is a scene between Thomas Aquinas and Jacques Derrida....on the subject of difference. :)
Here's a new wrinkle: Crickets can tell you the temperature.
:)
Mary Kay,
I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you get better soon and can replenish that bottle of Lagavulin...
Larry, I wonder if it depends on what kind of beverage? When I started my diet, I laid off cocktails but still had red and white wine regularly, and that didn't interfere with losing 1 to 2lbs per week.
Myers and Club soda. I'll have to try that, Jeremy. On the rum front, lately I've been having Bacardi Limon on the rocks, which is nice for sipping.
I'm pretty sure there is some brand of Poteen available in the U.S. I haven't tried it yet, because my brother in law from Drogheda says it's lethal.
It's been a while, so with the Summer fading and Fall coming, I thought I'd ask what are people drinking these days?
I just dicovered Boru, an awesome Irish vodka (hey, if the French can make vodka, why not the Irish?).
Shallow and stupid indeed. I'm sure it looks even more nefarious from google.earth (but come to think of it, so does my summer cottage in Scituate, MA).
