This is Kathleen chiming in for Peter and herself.

Peter is at the CreationCon this weekend in California and lent me his blog for a few days.

I read the news of the shuttle off of one of the professional lists I belong to. I couldn’t believe it. I turned on my radio to NPR and found out that it was true. My heart went out to the family and friends of those lost and all those who work at NASA.

Peter and I pass on our thoughts and prayers to all who are touched by this tragic event.

To all the folks who voiced unspeakably rude sentiments directed at the host of this board–which would be me–simply because I’m skeptical of the scramble for war at a time when domestic issues unattended to (or exacerbated) by the administration loom so large…

How many are actually in the service and would be required to fight? How many have children who would be required to go? And how many of draft age support a draft (and I’ll be going on the assumption that the rudest and most blustering who respond affirmatively to the last one are full of crap.)

Just wondering.

CAPTAIN MARVEL #5. Revelations are made. Decisions are made. Deadlines are made. I haven’t actually seen a copy of the book yet, but I know it’s out.

Thoughts?

In case you were wondering, no, I didn’t watch the State of the Union. I simply couldn’t possibly listen to, or look at, Bush for such a sustained period of time. A country with a spiralling economy and a series of anti-environment initiatives faced with the prospect of a multi-billion dollar war that could well serve to be the final wedge in the drive of world isolationism that’s been fostered since the current administration came into office.

State of the Union? Kinda sucks at the moment. Don’t really need W. to tell me that.

The Year The Great War Came Upon Us All (also known as Babylon 5: The Complete Second Season) is now available for pre-ordering, to be shipped at the end of April. So for those of you that’d like to see Soul Mates and There All The Honor Lies (written, of course, by your host, Mr. David) in widescreen, extra crispy, and with Dolby sound… click through!

I don’t normally do two blog entries in one day, but I gotta share this one:

I’ve been informed by my editor on SUPERGIRL, Lysa Hawkins (who is also my editor on “The Fallen Angel”) that “Many Happy Returns”…SUPERGIRL #75-80…has performed so well that it’s going to be collected as a trade paperback when the run ends. So the first eight issues and the last six are collected. Interesting bookends.
