Man, how time flies!

Hello Kind Folks,
Yea, I know, it's been a while. I was very recently reminded that 2 anniversaries are soon approaching.
1 mind blowingly Sad. Next March (yea I know, but it will be here before you know it!) marks 20 years since the passing of The Greastest Sci-Fi & Fantasy Writer to walk this Earth. WE MUST THINK OF A WAY TO HONOR THIS.
And 1 mind blowingly amazing, at least to me. This month of April marks 20 years that my website has existed in some form. From it's meager start as andre-norton-books.com as a bunch of "Windows Word frames" all tied together with what was the new hyperlink and little-teeny thumbnail images as links to a blurry 70kb photo. Can you imagine? And now 20 years later, it takes up almost 9 gigabytes of space on my hosts servers. 20 years I've been playing with that site. Constantly looking for stuff to add (not finding much these days) and then of course the several times I've been forced to totally redo the entire site. The shame will be when the world decides that the format is so outdated it can't be shown anymore. I'm not sure even I can duplicate it again and I don't know of any youngens who would even care to attempt it. No- I'm not fatalistic, I'm a realist and I'm getting old.
So anyway, 20 years (come September) you all have been dealing with my nonsense - Think about that!
My God! Where has the time gone?
