Cool, thanks! :-)

Funny as it sounds, David Brin brought my girlfriend and I together. (Or, at least, our mutual love for his writing...) (And sometime in October? November? December?--luckily, NEITHER of us remembers--we're having our two-year anniversary.)

A dating site connects people based on keywords in their profiles. Our common key words were "science fiction." She thought me a mere poseur, so she tried to brush me off with "David Brin's Uplift."

At which point I went off talking about the GURPS Uplift book (and I do believe I have both editions...?), the Contacting Aliens book, the prequel (Aficionado) and sequel (Temptation) short stories, and mentioned some of his other books.

Seem to be doing quite well. :-)

And... that's just me rambling. :-P
