    @M&A - I saw your Rex post today. You realize that if you raise tariffs on runts, I will be forced to impose an equal retaliatory tariff on blog entries from Canada. ;-) Good thing the US of A doesn't need anything from the soon-to-be 51st state. I wish there was something you folks could do to peel the orange!

    P.S. I did not know about NYT rate changes. I am bombarded with emails asking me to upgrade to full NYT access (currently games only) for the same cost, which I think is around $40, but in CAD bucks for me. Maybe I should sign up for another year.

    M&A, have you read Connie Willis? Her "Doomsday Book" (travel to the black plague years) and Blackout/All Clear duology about the battle of Britain are pretty cool. I think she just wants to be a historical fiction writer but throws some time travel in to spice it up.

      The ultimate time travel gotchas flick, IM&AO, is “Primer” [2004]. It got called “Donnie Darko” for grown-ups, by some critic. Makes yer head darn near explode, unless watched at least three times, to get it all straight.
