Stolen from medee6040, this was a nifty way to pass the time whenever Property just wore me down with boredom. Who needs sedatives when you have Easements and Riparian Rights to read about? ZZZZZZzzzzzzz...

Wow, Jim, I've met two out of your three people!

::squeak:: Really?!

When? Who? Where? WOW!

Met Charles de Lint in Ottawa, one visit to the House of Spec Fic about ten years ago (more?). I have no idea if that bookstore is still there, but I used to love it. He was hanging out and the whole store was just chatting about this and that. It was a little while before I realized who he was.

Met Carl Sagan a few years ago, when he came to deliver a lecture in Grant Hall at Queen's. He was an excellent speaker. Maybe this isn't so much a met as merely a saw in person. Ah...Cosmos was such an influence on my childhood. And he said "billyuns and billyuns" during the talk!

That's so cool! Is that the Speculative Fiction on 1st Avenue or something, in the Glebe? No idea if it's still there, but I used to go there every time I was in Ottawa. Wonderful little geek-haven :)

Oooohh... that makes me so jealous. Don't know how I missed that, because I would've still been living in Kingston and I would've given my right arm to see him. I memorized Cosmos as a kid, and wanted to be an astronomer for about five years - until I hit high school physics ;)

Spec Fic was on 4th Avenue in the Glebe at that time, yes.

So now I just have to stalk Walter Cronkite, is that it?

Talk about a one track mind! :) Gotta love the male species.

::points to comment above:: This is a scream! It sounds a little like the little kid version of my recent date with Birthday Boy...

Fun meme, eh? Rule of three, three for the road, three strikes... either way, it beats the living hell out of easements. (Three real estate attorneys and a baby? Noooooo!)
