Bad Joke Friday (space joke edition)
This is actually a good joke. And for a bonus, it’s a two-fer!

Sixteen years….
I wrote this story not long after the events of 9-11-01. It is not the story I would write today. How could it be? I was on the cusp of turning thirty, and at that point the scope of an … Continue reading
