Too Whipped to Write

It's supposed to reach the upper nineties today. Our air conditioning consists of a couple fans and the trees around the house. First thing this morning, when I started work, I discovered that last evening's apparently unremarkable word procesor crash had reduced an important table to a page full of unsorted numbers. Just as I finished making sense of it, my ailing computer went out like a light. I tried to reboot but the box exhibited no signs of life. Before panic set in I unplugged and replugged the power cord. Success!

But my heart's still racing. And it's making me hot. I'm whipped already. Write a blog? You've got to be kidding. Luckily, a few weeks ago I wrote something for Dave Burton's Pixel. Dave writes:

This issue features Eric Mayer's "Notes From Byzantium" column (on doctors and murderous hamsters); Lee Lavells' "Much Nothings About Ado" (what's wrong with our schools by a teacher of nearly 40 years); "Thoughts While Dwelling" by Dave Locke, recalling the joys of apartment living; Chris Garcia's "Found In Collection" column, this time about AMRA and tracking down some obscure donations; Ted White's "Whither Fandom" column, which covers a variety of topics including fanzine collecting (or accumulating), Mike Glicksohn's 70s zine, ENERGUMEN, Elmer Perdue, and the origin of the phrase "pub my ish"; Peter Sullivan's fanzine review column; a brief Tom-Swift style yarn by Jim Lavell (detailing one of the adventures of the three "Indianapolis Daves" ca. 1970); and the lettercolumn. Original artwork by Brad Foster and Kyle Hinton.

It can be downloaded from http://www.efanzines.com/CPG/Pixel04.pdf
File size is approximately 555K.

Of course if it's as sweltering where you are as it is here you probably don't feel like reading anyway.
