Some people think football [and soccer] is a matter of life and death.... I can assure them it is much more serious than that. |

| | Posted: | | | | May he find what's on the other side of the "first" stargate. I remember seeing 2001 in NYC during it's initial run and was wowed as 13 year old. I later read much of his fiction. Wish someone would film "Rendevous with Rama" someday. Not too many of the golden age writers of SF/Fantasy left - Ray Bradbury, etc. A sad day! |
