| With Major General Richard Rohmer, the D-Day 65th Anniversary Ceremony, Queen's Park, Toronto, June 6, 2009. Gen. Rohmer flew over Normandy on D-Day. Interestingly, Gen. Rohmer is also a science fiction writer of a sort; in the 1970's and 1980's, he wrote some "future history" novels such as Separation (Quebec separates) and Ultimatum (U.S. invades Canada) and technothrillers such as Starmageddon (U.S.-Soviet space war) and Periscope Red (Soviet submarine). |
Receiving the decoration of a Serving Brother of the Order of St. John from Hilary Weston, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, June 1999. |

| I'm holding a DVD of the made-in-Halifax TV series Lexx: The Dark Zone with Amy Kerr, who guest-starred as Desh in the Lexx episode "791" (season 2, episode 9). In "791", Desh is covered in icky alien slime and crawls out of an alien pod, but she's still so beautiful. Toronto, June 27, 2004. See her website www.amykerr.ca | Taping a segment of the great Canadian TV show Ed's Night Party with Leticia Cline, Ed the Sock, and Liana K. at Ad Astra Science Fiction convention, March 28, 2008. Leticia Cline is a certified public accountant, Maxim model, and one of the girls in the reality TV show Beauty and the Geek. Ed and Liana took Leticia to her first science fiction convention and encouraged her to learn Klingon. I told her it was better to learn French or Spanish because European girls are far more impressed if you speak to them in French or Spanish instead of Klingon. Some science fiction authors want to talk about big philosophical ideas on CBC and TVOntario, but I get to meet the hot women of Ed's Night Party. |

Isn't that a gorgeous yellow dress? Ms. St. George is also a talented make-up artist. |
