They are a ruddy peoples.

Chortle is a good word.

A few weeks back, Doug posted about the Forry issue of Dark Discoveries. I had never picked up a copy of this magazine before. It has morphed into a very literate magazine over the past few months. Issue 13 has the Forry tribute and a very articulate, seven page, interview of Ray Bradbury by Jason V Brock. His website is www.jasunni.com (a contraction of his and his wife’s first names)

If you have a chance to pick up this issue I highly recommend it. At the same time I picked up Issue 12 which features William F. Nolan.

The upcoming, in mid-July, issue 14 will be the Twilight Zone issue featuring George Clayton Johnson.

Also, in June they are offering a DVD tribute to Charles Beaumont with interviews with Bill Nolan, Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson, our own Ray Bradbury and others. It can be pre-ordered from Amazon, Charles Beaumont: The Short Life of Twilight Zone’s Magic Man…

Happy Memorial Day!

Who says the West-coasters have all the fun?

Very nice photos, Doug! (I just love the National Cathedral; have been there a couple of times and it's quite beautiful.)

Thanks. We went in too, but the photos are too dark to post.

Magnificent structure! Now that was in the days when architecture was architecture.

Analog Magazine has a nice online review of We'll Always Have Paris, with a very respectful commentary on Ray's writings.

OK folks, I just got an email from Donn Albright inviting me to Muncie to take a tour of the Bradbury archives next week. How cool is that!?

Hope I remember my camera.

Sorry, west-coasters!

Family should always come second to Ray...

Philnic: Any truth to the rumor that Susan Boyle is hiding out at your place?

Doug: Great pictures at DC. My wife and I went there in January this year and loved it. We missed the National Cathedral (your shot is gorgeous) and Arlington, but saw a million other things! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Wish I could join you at the Bradbury archives! Give us a report, will you?
