I’m almost afraid to say it

What the hëll is up with the Mets? Taking two out of three from the A’s. Two grand slams in one game after a two year drought. Over .500, finally. Jose Reyes is the most difficult out in the National League.

A fluke? Or the start of something? And would management really be tone deaf enough to trade Reyes?

My Life in a Box

My parents sent me this box of old stuff of mine that’s been sitting in their basement for God only knows how long. It’s my life and interests for the first eighteen years of my existence in microcosm. Some of it is truly amusing considering where my life’s gone. A copy of “MIrror Friend, Mirror Foe” by George Takei, whose wedding I attended. An issue of an old SF magazine called “If” with a cover by a pre-Elfquest Wendy (credited as “Wendi”) Pini, who drew the tattoo on my left arm. And–get this–an original 1969 New York Mets Yearbook.

How Much Would You Pay?

UPDATED on 6/22–I should mention that if you have your own blogs, feel free to link to this discussion so we can not only get as many opinions as possible, but also get this project in front of as many eyes as possible. Price is important, but ultimately endeavors such as this stand or fall on word of mouth. I’ve got over 100K words; now we need the mouths.

In several weeks, on July 8, Crazy 8 Press will be going live, and I’m looking for your input on pricing.
