Back To Reality
I went downstate for the Labor Day weekend, and much fun was had, including a reunion with my high school class (30 years!).
I did not stay to see the annual Labor Day parade, perhaps fortunately, because at the start of the parade somebody accidentally ran over 9 people watching said parade. None of the injuries were life-threatening, but the parade was delayed for an hour.
In other news, last night I finished The Dark Forest, Book 2 of the "Three Body Problem" trilogy. I'm of mixed opinion on the book, and I'll have more thoughts anon.
Lastly, kevin-standlee is on fire regarding the Hugos that were. He notes (and I agree with) that The Hugo-haters Doth Protest Too Much, that a civil society requires good losers and has ideas on Hugo award categories to replace. Good stuff all.
