Dream: January 31, 2010
I’m in my bedroom, arranged as it was when I was a kid, looking at all the LEGO models on display. There is a motorcycle, a spaceship. Most of them are motorized, and have perpetually spinning wheels and blinking lights. I have all of the boxes stacked up alongside my old desk and furniture. The boxes are clean and white.

The Moon for its Citizens
I just purchased Wallace Cochran’s The Moon For Its Citizens: A History of the Rocket from Hermes Trismegistus to the 23rd Century from Printed Matter.
First, because it was pretty. Bell Gothic, a favorite of mine. Letterpressed, even! The ink seems to have been a bit smudged, but that can be forgiven, as what has truly won my heart is the cover stock.
The cover stock.
The book’s...
