Hey everyone and happy Friday the 13th!

I hope everyone is having a great day and staying cool. It's reading 106°F (41°C) where I'm at right now. Yuck.

I posted this in another forum, but quite a few members frequent the coffee house so I wanted to share it here as well.



I know by now a lot of you have noticed the glitching going on, especially in the forums. Unfortunately, it's all part of the process. I'm sure it's going to happen a few times over the next little bit while the site begins its updates.

Please be patient with us and know if it's down, it will come back shortly.

Thanks!



If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to message me and I'll try to answer them as best as I can.

That's funny we are all reading it. I feel like he's doing what he does with all his stories. He's setting the chessboard. Slowly introducing you to all the pieces before he begins to wreak havoc on them.

I do love that about him. lol

Sometimes it pays off and other times it doesn't. fingers crossed

Good book! I just cracked open his latest, Hail Mary. Good, nerdy, hard sci-fi.


I'll have to check that out.

I listened to The Martian not long afterward and watched the movie. I will say, I loved that Wil Wheaton did the narration because to me, his voice was perfect, but I think Matt Damon was the only person that could have pulled off Mark Watney in the movie version.

I'm currently reading two.

Soon by Lois Murphy
