'Tis the Season...
Monday, December 20th, 2004 09:02 pmJack Chalker is very ill: congestive heart failure and other complications. Details at Eva Whitley's blog. The family is accepting donations via PayPal.
As it turns out that the call for phone cards from Walter Reed Hospital is a sort of semi-hoax -- see Snopes. However, as it also turns out, the VFW has had since 1996 a program in place to get phone cards to active-duty soldiers and to hospitalized veterans. For more information, or to make a donation, check out Operation Uplink.

It was snowing earlier this evening, silver motes blowing in the light of the three-quarter moon. Down to zero, headed for five below. I do believe I'll put another blanket on the bed.
Galleys went into the FedEx box first thing this morning, orders were mailed, gym happened, groceries were gathered, more orders were packed, and I'm slowly reading what's written of Crystal Dragon to rise it to the surface, now that Crystal Soldier is done, Done, DONE.
