Heroes Week

My friend Andrea has created a facebook group encouraging people to blog about their real-life heroes this week.

We're talking people you really look up to and want to emulate, excluding for the moment close friends and family, people who died a long time ago, and fictional characters, natch.

This is something I'll have to think about, honestly. I'm not really an "I want to be like Mike" kind of person. But there are certainly people I look up to, and I'll try to blog later this week about who that is.

Oh good

Baen is reprinting P.C. Hodgell's Godstalker series. These are books that have been terribly under-printed, so don't let the ugly Baen cover stop you from checking them out.

In a "pass it on" sort of way (even if you can't help)

Australia's suffering from a heat wave + brush fires.

I wouldn't mind giving a drink of water to a koala.

I'm just sayin'.
