    How can I be too old for Judy Bloom Books already? It seems I was just reading a L. Frank Baum series.

      I have a near-full set of Baum hardbacks. They are delightfully period.

        Whereas “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret?” is just… period.

        (I regret nothing)

      Nick’s the one who said “Name five books by Judy Blume.” And Rhodey’s answer was “Hrrgh”. So apparently Rhodey’s vocabulary is expanding. The other day, it was just “Hrrungh”.

        Probably remembering “Wifey,” Blume’s, er, adult novel—novel for adults, in theory…

          She wrote some other novels for adults. I read one. It was terrible. I don’t get the Sigmund reference though.

    Telepath vs. precognitive? I read a science fiction story with that theme; I hope things turn out as they did in that story…

    (Hint: the telepath doesn’t win)

        Ted Chiang’s “Understand” in his collection “The Story of your Life and Others”, is pretty close.

      I can see you know what I will do… wait, I already know that.

    That net is probably driving Nick’s insurance premiums waaay up. Getting crushed into a giant mesh bag with a sea serpent? How can propellers hope to survive that?

    I can only imagine an after school activities book club, where children go to the docks to read books to Rodney, their favorite sea monster.

    Hrrgh was my favorite of her books.

        I don’t know, I thought it was oddly heartwarming.

          …Or heartwarmingly odd.

    I actually went to an “Under the Sea”-themed Halloween party this past year as Sigmund the sea monster…

    I’m impressed that Nick and our intrepid authors know who Sigmund the Seamonster was. That was on TV when I was a kid!

    Could have called him Cecil…
