Remember when _you_ wanted to be an assistant pig-keeper?

I just found out that children's author Lloyd Alexander passed away just under a week ago. The NYT obit at http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/19/arts/19alexander.html does an excellent job of summing up his works and achievements.

Note to self: get the full set of Prydain Chronicles (somehow, only the 5th book escaped from childhood to now).

In other news, if you'd like to come over to my place tonight for boardgaming, let me know! Fairly open invite, but give me a heads up so I can be prepared.
