I enjoyed a conversation with DeVaughn and his sister Zoe about their experiences of racism and what they think the current state of racism is in the US.

Richard has thought about preterism (the idea of some in Christian faith that most of the prophesies concerning the end of the age took place in the 1st century), Calvinism (the idea of some in the Christian faith that the salvation of individuals from God's punishment of sin is 100% his doing), and open theism (the idea of some in the Christian faith of the free will of man and even God doesn't know for sure how it will play out).  We talk about that, and we also talk about Rich's love of music and his Steinway piano.

I enjoyed a conversation with Robert Treskillard, author of Merlin's Blade, Merlin's Shadow, Merlin's Nightmare, and now working on Arthur's Blade.  We talk about writing, myths and story, history and legend.
