I did a Search this Thread for ‘Wolfe’, and the only hits were (a) your posts, and (b) where **Andrew 21** pointed out that you’d listed him twice. So while our Death Mistress has the final word, I’d say it’s looking good for you. ---

So while our Death Mistress has the final word, I’d say it’s looking good for you. If I weren’t so sad that Gene Wolfe died, I’d be pretty happy right now. Still, his loss is too great. ---
