rolanniAs last year, this is an April Fool's Free Zone*. Please respect this.
Today is the Thirty-First Anniversary of the merging of the Miller and Lee households, much to the consternation of the then-resident cats.
SFRevu has nice things to say about Longeye
And now, to the vampires!

*...it's not that I don't have a sense of humor (which I've been told); I have a lively, if occasionally inappropriate, sense of humor. It's because April Fool's Day has, IMNSHO, become a forum for abusive behavior couched as "jokes," which allows the perpetrator to take and hold the dubious moral high ground of "You can't take a joke!"

I honour the day in appreciation for Shakespeare's fools, who have delighted me since first I met them in high school English class.
If only all fools were such

Date: 2009-04-01 10:25 pm (UTC)April First is also my wedding anniversary, so I am particularly delighted to hear I share it with one of my favorite writing teams. It almost makes up for the fact that after two decades, I still run into clever Dicks who think that they are the first to make the obvious jokes...
anniversary
