Yes, it's been too long since my last article. This past year has been a tough one for all of us, as COVID issues continue to plague our world. My job has changed (for the better) and well, you know the drill...
However, one light at the end of the tunnel is the recent birth of our Granddaughter! Chloe Lee was born on August 20, 2021, and both families of the Mom (my daughter) and Dad couldn't be prouder. As a die-hard SF fan, I refuse to be called Grandpa or Papa, etc. Nope, this long time Star Trek fan was thinking of something like Captain or Admiral, but that would be pretentious. So this Grandfather is going the Star Wars route and will be called Obi Wan. Yup, I have big plans for this kid, and luckily her parents are fans too, so the next few years will be fun. Can't wait to help raise a little Padawan.
The RISFC is finally returning to in person meetings, with the September 2021 event being our first in almost two years. We've been going the Zoom route, and used a Chat service while streaming movies. Our Halloween Party is going to be awesome. If you live in the Rhode Island/Massachusetts area, check the Meetings section of this website, and join us sometime. We have been attending a few local conventions too, with RI Comiccon the biggest one being held in Providence this November. We don't have a table, but if you go, look for us wandering around, interviewing people for our TV show, Sci-Fi Journal.
So once again, until this variant is contained, wear a mask if needed, and get your COVID shots, so we can beat this stupid thing once and for all. And so people will stop dying, that would be nice too.
