RIP Andre Norton

Heretic infidel Cory Doctorow notes the passing of Andre Norton. Back at LHS, my sister and I had an insane woman as a teacher. She would talk to her dead husband who, apparently, had stashed himself in the upper window-side corner of the classroom. Sis had her for Science Fiction, and I had her for Engrish. If I remember correctly, AN lived in Winter Park, FL, and was friends with Ernestene (is that right? HS was foggy for me). Rather than diagram sentances, Ernestene would go on about hanging with Andre in the WP. The obit brought it all back (mostly all).

I hated high school. I mean really hated it. This is how bad the instituiton sucks. Google lakeland senior high school, and this is what you get:

Oh crap! Sorry about that! I kept getting an unavailable page message and hit the ol' back button. I'm a cockroach.

Don't sweat the multiple postings. Blogger is kinda flaky sometimes -- this kind of stuff happens to me all the time. What I've taken to doing when blogger freaks out is let blogger cook a while, then open a new window and see if what I've posted has appeared. If it has, I kill the hung page.

NORT!
