Guess I'll Go Eat Worms

It would appear that I am part of what's wrong with the Hugo Awards and it would be much better if I just died already.

Not much else I can say about things like this. I contemplated whether I should give him more publicity, but I figure if I promote people who mostly agree with me like Scalzi yesterday, it's only fair to give some time to someone who deeply disagrees with me and is willing to make an argument for it. Heck, I don't even disagree with everything he said.

Conversely, my mother's father's mother got to hold her great-great grandson (my nephew Shane, at far right in the icon).

Mind you, I'm a piker by my family's standards. I should have grandchildren by now. Not going to happen. In effect, Fandom is my family, as I've spent the resources most people invest in their children on Worldcon and other fannish endeavors.

My father also held his great-great grandson before he passed away: he was the eldest of five children, his parents had 21 grandchildren of which four were his, two from ech of two marraiges. My eldesst half-sister was number three of the grand-children and I was number 21. I was an uncle already when I was born and a grand-uncle before I went to University.
