It is kind of a downer day, it seems. Terry Pratchett just announced that he's got a form of early onset Alzheimers -- though he's functional and writing for the forseeable future -- which is just horrid news.

Oh, no. I hadn't heard that before.

You're right. That's very bad news. I wish him all the best.

The local PAX/ION station here in Denver showed the UK's "The Hogfather" last night. I taped it but haven't had a chance to watch it yet.
