Followed! I have family on Bay Point, so I've been coming for a stretch of the summer since I was a kid. It's a magical time to be there.

I just showed my wife the close-up and asked her to guess who it was.
Her answer, with no hesitation: it's from The Handmaid's Tale.

I'll look for photos - and I'll be there for a few weeks in July, so I'll keep an eye out for more.

Baseball. Watching the Giants-Rockies game right now, but any game would bring comfort.

Yeah, it's cool to think that the story is just sitting there in my brain somewhere and I could pick it back up and see where it goes anytime.

I wrote the first act of a play in 1998. Every once in a while I think about writing act two.
It was pretty good, but the plot depends on having to wait a few days to get photos developed, so I don't know how to make it work now...

“Pooh Bear’s house was the crater at the top of Olympus Mons.”
If that doesn’t make you excited for this story, nothing will

I'm a teacher and a dad, so I have mixed feelings.

I wrote a bit in The First Kid on Mars about how Giovanni Schiaparelli's "canali" were translated as "canals" instead of "channels," which made us all expect to see Martian boats sailing on Martian rivers.
In my story, the kids discover that "canals" wasn't such a bad translation after all...

If I tried explaining it to my kids now they'd just laugh at me.
