So, whatdaya think? A good guess??Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12633071945312050813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-44949305123899779882022-02-04T20:07:07.977-08:002022-02-04T20:07:07.977-08:00Do you chance to remember that comment?Do you chance to remember that comment?Michael Swanwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708413411146291236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-1579362249233099332022-02-04T15:14:10.975-08:002022-02-04T15:14:10.975-08:00It must be something in the atmosphere.

A few days ago Ellen Datlow posted a photo of herself with her Hugo, and I immediately saw a hotel hallway and Gardner deploying the Gardner Twinkle to declaw Jerry Pournelle with one wicked in-passing comment. Carol Carr has the same beyond the grave magic for me, as does Sid Coleman: People who really should have come with built-in Boswells.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909833116249320199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-73719704317935614572022-02-04T08:05:41.234-08:002022-02-04T08:05:41.234-08:00So I take it you don't remember what PBS serie...So I take it you don't remember what PBS series Gardner recommended? (smile)<br /><br />Because if Gardner recommends something, I'm going to pay attention.<br /><br />(I just finished watching "I, Claudius", which was on PBS sometime in the mid-1970s. I was (mumble mumble) years old at the time and I'm sure my parents thought it was too mature for me. Now that I'm older, I quite enjoyed it.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04897541740818276304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-74467399617081865792022-02-03T18:53:00.332-08:002022-02-03T18:53:00.332-08:00No, this was just us conversing and being happy.No, this was just us conversing and being happy.Michael Swanwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708413411146291236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-61889722953645400732022-02-03T18:48:25.529-08:002022-02-03T18:48:25.529-08:00But do they still make you sit through the pledge ...But do they still make you sit through the pledge drive portion?Lawrence M.
