I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.I've gotten better at leaving the room instead of arguing to the death. That doesn't mean I don't still argue, but I try to stop when we're all still alive.

I understand. I won't hear a word against my own dinosaurs; their feelings are easily hurt.
ReplyDeleteI have a photograph of Ray Bradbury and me - he's looking at me as if I were a somewhat untrustworthy goof, and I look very much indeed like an untrustworthy goof.
