UFO sighting in Texas!

[Simon]

When I was young I started with comic books and sort of graduated to Sci-Fi and the Ace double novels (a book with two covers and two stories). Eventually I gravitated more to what we used to call "Spec-Fi" for speculative fiction. In those books it was very important that the science part wasn't fiction.

Since then I've spent a lot of my life speculating, and living all kinds of fictions. I blame Arthur C. Clarke for my satellite phone bills. Plus, every time I say 'Arthur' I think of the number 42 and the importance of always bringing my towel.

All that said, I'm not one of those crazies who think we're being visited by aliens from other worlds all the time. You'd have to be some kind of weirdo to think that. Everyone in the know knows the visitors are simply time travelers from our own future. Sheesh.

Years ago I tried to make it "on stage". I was in a semi-pro acting group, did a bit of stand up, and was even on TV once. I never once went on stage without a small towel somewhere on my person (usually hidden). After all, it may be a tough universe out there, but it is even tougher on stage.
