He did allow his gamebooks to be downloaded for free a while back at https://www.projectaon.org/, if anyone is interested.

I have rich material to work with today! Plus, Iā€™m trying to make amends for my weak Buzz Aldrin joke (seriously, I donā€™t want to see a link to his obit here, not for at least five weeks).

At least Fritz Weaver was 90, so it was a good long life.

Awakeningsā€¦every time I watch Ghostbusters I think, Iā€™ve seen her somewhere before. And it wasnā€™t just because she looked like some real librarians Iā€™ve known.
