But coming soon, new and original material!

Really, truly.

The Heinlein Society. That is all.

What REALLY happened at the 2012 Howard Families Meeting?

The Heinlein's Home in Colorado Springs

James Gifford has posted a note on the Heinlein Society Nexus Forum about the huge fire(s) near Colorado Springs and the possibility that they may threaten the Heinlein's custom home in the area. James has images of the 1952 Popular Mechanics article about the home on his Nitrosyncratic Press website if you'd like to see what it looks like and the many interesting and cool design features.

Right now it looks like the home is safe, as the fires are still miles away, but given the conditions it seems nothing is completely safe in the area right now.

The Bigger Picture

While I while away on the next installment of "Connections" in the biography (Part I is here) you might enjoy seeing the whole picture that I took the blog title image from:

There are more perfect images available, but this one has the feel of a magazine that was read and reread many times, then stored for the next 70 years, only to be brought out and furnish a delightful sense of surprised recognition, of something old that is none the less perpetually new--something like the work of Robert A. Heinlein.
