I'll have to look for that Ray Bradbury short story.<br /><br />I found your new blog. Thanks. No need to apologize. Just glad you saw my thank-you note. And I really appreciated you taking the time to single out my writing on DL's blog. I'm determined to get that story published someday.<br /><br />Joanne R.

What a coincidence. I just finished reading The Things a Brother Knows.

It was an early short story on the 'Butterfly Effect,' written by one of the all-time masters. Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five" is also a favorite -- a weird and wonderful time-travel novel.<br /><br />And second: I've started a new blog and retired my old one, and as part of the house-cleaning discovered that I wasn't getting the e-mails from my "Contact Me" page. I just want to apologize for the delay in getting back to you and also say 'you're welcome!" I thought it was an awesome story -- I loved the dreaminess of the girl walking down the aisle towards the stage. It was unique and interesting and written very well. :)StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124298039392938540.post-44448927803880058412013-10-07T20:58:44.645-04:002013-10-07T20:58:44.645-04:00You certainly read more time travel than anyone I&...You certainly read more time travel than anyone I've ever known, Susan.
