Notes from the birthday list.
1. The Picture Slot. In previous years, the Picture Slot belonged to our two movie stars, Salma Hayek and Keanu Reeves. With them out of the running, my vote for most iconic is the late Meinhardt Raabe as the Munchkin coroner.
2. The Guy at the Door. On today's list, comic actor Chuck McCann is the oldest living person and everyone younger is still with us. Special birthday wishes to him.
3. Living Canadian free! No Canadians to spot today.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list, especially Chuck McCann, and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.
Prediction: The 2015 Atlantic hurricane season will have between 5 to 10 named storms, with eight the most likely number.
Reality: We are halfway into the season and the sixth storm just got named. The only thing that can go wrong here is undershooting the mark, which is not impossible.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
Is our pal Morris Ernst likely to be wrong on the optimistic side? Well, his book is titled Utopia 1976, so the odds are good.
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
Do you consider the TV show "Millennium" an F&SF show? It's borderline but it did have cloning and actual devils, among other things. If so, it should be added to Kristen Cloke's list.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I do count it, I just didn't update her list.
DeleteCloke deserves the Picture Slot next year. (Yes, I'm working the ref. Yes, that's the season the producers try to pretend doesn't exist. It's also the most interesting.)
