“The feeling I have every day is very much the same as it was when I was twelve.

I have good plans for the next ten or twenty years, and I hope you’ll come along.”

Rock on Mr. Bradbury! And congratulations on you newly published book Now and Forever: Somewhere a Band is Playing & Leviathan ’99 (July 2008).
