The Gang that couldn’t shoot straight…

…is apparently prosecuting the Gordon Lee case in Rome, GA. As the press release from the CBLDF below will show, after a year and a half, on the eve of the case going forward, the prosecutor “suddenly” discovered that the basic facts of their case were wrong. Out went the old case, in comes the new. If I were a taxpayer in Rome, I’d be outraged over the frivilous waste of tax dollars. See below:

Back from Toronto

Spent the weekend at Ad Astra convention in Toronto. It’s the 25th year of Ad Astra, and the committee folks (including my main contact, Kirsten) couldn’t have been nicer. All the panels were well-attended, and some of them were downright packed. Got to spend quality time with Terry Brooks and his wife Judine, and Betsy Mitchell from Del Rey. I was kept hopping pretty consistentyly Friday and Saturday, which was only fair since I had to light out from there early Sunday morning to get back in time for the Pepsi Challenge, a bowling tournament in which Ariel had made the prelims and was rolling in the county wide tournament (she shot a 547 series; whether she moves on to the nationals or not, we’ll find out in a couple of weeks.)

Looking forward to “West Wing” tonight. My no-doubt wrong predictions: Josh and Donna, after bedding each other, feel kind of weird and are content to remain merely good friends; Santos wins and asks Vinnick to serve as his vice-president.
