Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

QM - The Shiny New Room!

It has to be all shiny for the New Year!  It's also sparkly and glittery and glisteny and glimmery and bubbly!  The bubbly is champagne, of course, and it's everywhere.  If you prefer a different sort of beverage, the bar is over there.  *points*

You know what they say, there's no such thing as too much bubbly.  Until you have too much bubbly.

*sips bubbly*

Re: QM - The Shiny New Room!

I's bored. I should get off the couch -- my "to do" list is s-o-o-o-o long. And we're having people over later on.

Hmm ... foggy today ... wonder if I will be able to fly out of Portland airport? I can't pull off another sleepless night here....

Re: QM - The Shiny New Room!

*bounces in*

I'm home sooner than expected, because someone needs to feed the cat (which, conveniently, gives me another night for secret knitting).

Re: QM - The Shiny New Room!

Yay!

Well - I am at the gate at least. We will see if we are actually able to take off.

Whoops. I just found out they already canceled one flight to Seattle....

Yeesh.

Re: QM - The Shiny New Room!

Quite well. I hope that by the time school starts again, I will feel confident enough about it to knit during lessons.
