Some thoughts.

I've come to the conclusion that I can do whatever occurs to me to do with my blog. It may not hold the same audiance from day to day or topic to topic but I think I need to be able to just not have to portion myself out to fit some Niche.

Besides I'm Roving Jack, of many a trade ... they call me jack of all trades. So I'm gonna wonder and cover many and myriad topics for the sheer joy of experiancing my world as myself.

So to start off I'll let you Know that I am going to reread one of my favorite short stories tonight. It's one of the things that I connected so deeply with when I was but a lad, and it has sort of given me permission to have such an eclectic set of intrests. The story is calling In Hiding by Wilmar Shiras and it's the first in a series that was compiled into the book called Children of the atom (pst, there is a preview of the story on google books).

I first read it back in highschool when I was devouring the small sci-fi section at the local library. It was unnerving that this character should have some ideas I had been thinking of and it was inspiring too. I returned the book and then wanted to re read the story only to realise that I had forgotten the story name , author and book name I had found it in (it had been an anthology of multiple authors works). I searched for that story off and on over ten years.

Some wonderful people over at Nanowriom happened to know the name when I asked and told me there were sequels and that they had been compiled into a book called Children of the atom.

Well I bought it then and there off of ebay and to this day it is one of my most cherish posessions. I reread it in whole and in parts when I can.

And I will do so again tonight.

Then for a bit I think I will start going through some other books and then write about what I thought about them.

With some science stories and projects to post aboput in between.

So That's the plan for now, I'll post again tomorrow.
Take care of yourselves,
Roving Jack
