Just an update - a return too?

[sdelaforge]

I've thought about this post for sometime. Trying to figure what I want to say. How can I say "I think I can return now?" Maybe I just should quit trying to say something witty, and just do it

Nice to hear that you're still alive, been occasionally missing you. Heck, just tonight I was thinking of you, when I was reading through Master Rosa's Magnum Opus - the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.

You're right, there's plenty of 'uplift' SciFi around, as well as related bioengineering stuff. Clarjke's 'Childhood's End' is another uplift story in a way that isn't immediately obvious. Although I think Brin's works were probably first to specifically call the process upliff.

That one book I've re-read so many times I have the pictures memorized :). I so wish he was still doing Duck books, but I hope he's having a nice retirement :). It's astonishing that the duck books was finally put away in a good way, instead of just slowly dissolving into ug. (Dick Tracy almost was destroyed because the last link of the old era was making it worse and worse. Until the new team that just blew all of us fans away :).

I've been reading 11 books on Uplift, considered the finest, and I've been batting a 1,000 on them. Even the last 'We3' is hard to understand, since it's 99% picture, and only 1% dialog. But still it was incredibly moving. I'm glad that I got started with Uplift. It allowed me to actually write a sci-fi story. Thank you David Brin! :)
