Going to be mostly off the internet this weekend, as I have friends coming in from out of town to attend Katsucon, a local anime convention being held at National Harbor despite the horrible apocalyptic WINTER STORM that smacked the area last night. For those of you in the Upper Midwest, Buffalo, New England, etc., it would have been just another Wednesday night in winter, but the local news & weather people get themselves worked up into a lather about such things. So, no FMJRA this weekend unless Smitty takes up the cudgels, and Rule 5 Sunday is going to open March like a lion with a triple helping of the Lord’s handiwork. Live at Five will probably resume next Monday or Tuesday, depending on events.
Also, before I forget, thanks to everyone who hit the links in last week’s book post. You bought over three dozen books, both Kindle and dead-tree editions, which is very much appreciated not just by the authors (I got a thank you note from Casey Neumiller) but I appreciate it as well.
