ARNE STARR AUCTION

Got an e-mail from talented artist Arne Starr, who is planning a move to LA. Consequently, he’s having a major Ebay blowout of stuff he wouldn’t ordinarily sell in order to raise some traveling money. He said, in part:

“Amongst all the Trek models and figures and other oddball items, I put up about 20 comic pages, of which you wrote over half of (Star Trek #8, STVI Adapt, Sachs & Violens 3-4 (which I got you to sign ages ago in Chicago of all places)). Any help would be appreciated. To find the stuff on Ebay one just has to do a search by Seller and type in

ANNIVERSARY YESTERDAY

As Kathleen wrote up so well on her own weblog, yesterday was our three year wedding anniversary. Since it fell middle of the week and there was much else going on, it was a pretty low key affair for us. Main celebration was in the evening, when Kath and I went out to dinner while Ariel watched baby sister (who was, cooperatively, sound asleep.) When we came home, Kathleen, Ariel and I sat and looked through hundreds of photos taking at the wedding and during the honeymoon. Seeing pictures of my old friends from Trek conventions looking weirded out as they mingled with such guests as George Takei, Bill Mumy and Harlan Ellison. Bob Greenberger expertly directing troop (i.e., guest) movements with military finesse. Kathleen looking radiant in her wedding dress and getting teary eyed during the ceremony. My daughters and parents looking happy for me, possibly because they thought that, after my heart was busted the first time around, I would never be happy again (an opinion I shared for quite some time B.K. (Before Kath). And the honeymoon afterward–the Disney Cruise, which we took all three girls on, since Kath’s philosophy was that we would be sending a negative message by saying, “We’re going to be a new family, we love you all, and now good-bye because we’re ditching you for a week.”

And somewhere Caroline was looking down from on high saying, “Put me in, coach. I’m ready to play.”

It was a good day yesterday.
