WOW. Thats right. That would be super cool.

😀 😛

Yes, and I would write down carefully the result of all Dodger games in every World Series that they were in so that I would only attend the games that they won. 😀 😛 (The Dodgers were only swept once, in 1966, hence a World Series to avoid.)

Sound like a great plan to me.

And I could make a little extra cash betting on those games, too. 😀 😛

Extra cash is a good thing too. 😉

I am trying to get a stash of cash from selling Dad's stuff. 🙂

Now that he is gone, that is a very wise thing to do. First select one or two things of sentimental value to you, then sell the rest.
My father was very proud of his service in World War II, so I have saved his dog tags and his Honorable Discharge.

I have the one thing already. 🙂 Its a space ship he made for me out of copper when I was only 5. 🙂 Thats staying with me forever. 🙂

Dog tags are a great thing to save. We cant find my Dad's though we havent looked everywhere yet. I am glad you found your fathers. Thats a great keepsake. 🙂

My mother kept a scrap book of my father's military service. It has over 100 pages of memorabilia. Inside the front cover she taped his dog tags and inside the back cover she taped his laminated honorable discharge. I will keep that scrapbook forever. 😀 😛

Were you already a science fiction fan at the age of five?

Issac Asimov, Ray Bradbury and Robert Heinlein.

Those three are all so great that I won't protest that I asked for one.

Yup I loved all three of them. 🙂 but I must admit I have always had the most admiration for Asimov.

Me, too.
Asimov published so much, both science fact and science fiction, that he still amazes me. 😀 😛

Yea you are right. He published an amazing amount of stuff. Even some religious stuff. Truly an amazing author.

A less famous science fiction author that I loved back in the 1950's was Lester del Rey.

Yes, I liked Ursula as well. Back then there were few successful women authors in the science fiction field.

Very true. I just thought she had interesting ideas. Like what if your dreams could change reality.

That was part of the story .... that the gift was a gift from the heavens and in its natural way only bad things were fixed. Nothing bad ever happened, until someone bad tries to gain the power and change everything for his own selfish self.
