At The Lodge And In The Near Future

The prolongation of his Time Patrol series gave Poul Anderson the opportunity to tell us more both about the Patrol Academy in the Oligocene and about their lodge in the Pleistocene. See:

The Academy And The Lodge

We have been besieged by trick or treaters which recalls a mention of this custom in Anderson's other major time travel work, There Will Be Time. (Sheila had laid in provisions.)

I can predict a few future events with reasonable certainty. Tomorrow, I will attend a day-long event in Manchester. Therefore, posts on this blog will be either scarce or nonexistent. On Monday, I will attend the funeral of a former work colleague, again affecting blog posts.

Otherwise, I will continue to reread Poul Anderson and Stieg Larsson. Manse Everard captures the last Exaltationists. Mikael Blomkvist spearheads the tracking down of Swedish rogue intelligence agents in the early twenty-first century.

Read both.
