Kind of makes you proud and humbled to be a human. One small step indeed. One step at a time, we're doing it. We're making history with every light-second, to paraphrase the 22nd century's greatest explorer.

I skipped the little blurb at the start, and thought that WAS your writing. I was imagining you outside of my local Trader Joe's (yeah, I know he said Whole Food, but since that song thing you always shop at TJ's in my head) yelling as you walked away. Then I reread it. He may not be genetically related to you, but crap the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.

Oh my goodness, I wish I had known you were coming here. The coldest week of the year, natch. I was a huge Wesley fan (hey, I was 10 when TNG started) and now I love your writing. Though, like other geeks, I use the Kindle app for my iPhone, so I couldn't really have asked you to sign my copy of Just A Geek... Not that I have any control over it, but sorry you had to be here this week of all weeks.
