89 Weeks And Counting

It is now 89 weeks and counting since The Baby was born. She now has an even bigger personality, she is still beautiful, and she finally might have, sort of, said "Mama". Can you believe it!  I'm still in shock. Talk about a wonderful early Mother's Day present.

Yes, I think The Baby finally slipped up this week.  I am not positive, but I am pretty sure she accidentally called me Mama.  It only happened one time and I couldn't get her to repeat the word.  When I asked her to repeat the word she just poked me in the eye and said, "eye."  The whole experience has left me teary eyed, but the stinging did finally go away.

I am feeling extremely optimistic that week 90 will the week The Baby finally starts calling me Mama.  This Boss Lady will keep you posted.

I grew up in a household that had every Galaxy and Astounding from the 50s and quite a few Astounding from the 40s. I had the privilege of reading Asimov's stories in their original format. Recommendations from 1945 to today: Asimov's collection of short stories originally published as Nightfall and Other Stories, Heinlein's Have Spacesuit, Will Travel and Card's Speaker for the Dead.

Anything by those three are good, many are great. These are just my favorites.

I have to agree with your choices 100%. I would like to add two of my old favorite short stories. The first is "For A Breath I Tarry" by Roger Zelazny. That one got a bit of press because of its influence on the film Wall-E. The other is "5,271,009" by Alfred Bester. I used to have copies I would loan to people who were curious about science fiction.

I've always had a weakness for Asimov's story "The Last Question." I saw it produced as a planetarium show when I was small and just the memory of it still gives me chills.
