I'm in desperate need of a paleontologist

Not a good week to lose an actor I love: John Wood.

A.E. Housman had better meet him at the Styx.

I'm sorry.

A.E. Housman had better meet him at the Styx.

Amen.

Amen.

How I wish I'd seen his Housman! And his Guildenstern, his Lear, his Prospero. I am greatly fortunate to have seen him in Travesties. I remember his throwing off sixty years as lightly as a dressing gown. Glorious.

Woe! I've only seen him in films, but I loved him in them.

I never saw him onstage, either: I just wish I had. I imprinted on him as Stephen Falken in WarGames (1983). I imagined his voice, reading The Invention of Love.

You should write about him. I've only read the play.

Amen.

If I had slept last night, I could be trying to turn that into a poem . . .

Twould make a good poem, I think. I hope you can find sleep tonight, and perhaps that poem as well, sometime.

I feel like the timing is terrible, but I just wandered by to say that, four years after the fact I suppose, I stumbled across this story (http://www.strangehorizons.com/2007/20071029/teinds-f.shtml), and just adore it.

So, thank you for writing it. It's beautiful.

The timing is not terrible at all: this is the best news I've received all day. Thank you. I am very glad.
