…can I please have your attention. I’ve just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you, to stop what you’re doing and listen.
… Cannonball!!!”
That was not in context with the following, but I felt a Ron Burgandy quote was required, since, after all, it is a Moan-day.
Oh yeah. That’s […]

Old Man’s War by John Scalzi
What a good book. Zipped me along so fast that I had it done and read in a day. The premise is pretty simple: John Perry is a 75 year old widower that visits the grave of his wife on his birthday and then heads for […]
