PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Ursula LeGuin is not dead. Fortunately she is just getting an award. Not a headline story, but it is heartwarming for me. I used to get Fantasy and Science Fiction every month, and immediately scan the Table of Contents for a new story from Ursula LeGuin. Along with Ellison, Card, Blish, and a number of others. But she was my favorite.

Azimov’s column was usually pretty good too.

And it's nice to be able to extol someone without them having to die.

Toasting Ursula LeGuin. Congratulations for winning an award in spite of your distain for awards.

I'm not a sci-fi reader in general, but I remember the film adaptation of her story "The Lathe Of Heaven", with Bruce Davison, Kevin Conway, and Margaret Avery. I've been dying to see it again. Unfortunately, it's been perpetually languishing in my Netflix queue with the designation "Very Long Wait"...

It's nice she got an award.
