A new walkman

So, I went out and bought Bob, the B2 Stealth Walkman, to replace the recently deceased one. Spent more than I wanted, got a good deal, and am pretty happy. Can’t wait to get to the States and try the new headphones with it. Should be cool. Only ten days till I go, and still too much to do. I’ve now finished buying clothes etc for the trip, and really only need to read a lot, pack and then go. On reading, I finished the Jon Courtenay Grimwood novel, which was good, have started the Steve Donaldson, and am trying to read as much short fiction in between. On that score, SciFiction has a terrific new Terry Bisson story coming up in October. Keep an eye out for it.
