I gave up on the mails and braved the light snow to run over to Borders where I picked up a copy of the January/February issue of ANALOG. It contains the first part of Joe Haldeman’s new serialized novel, Marsbound. I can’t wait to start reading it at lunch today.

I’ll give ANALOG another week or so before I call them and ask that they simply skip that issue and tack it on to the end of my current subscription.
