Another periodic reminder that in addition to posting pictures of cats, and dogs (and weird dogs), I write books. This is a book about an odd philosophy professor having to save the multiverse with the help of his annoying dopplegangers. There's no cats in this one, but a saber-toothed tiger plays an important role. (Twice.)

Gibt es Magie in deiner Geschichte? Wenn ja: worin liegt ihr Ursprung?
Das kommt auf die Geschichte an. In jedem meiner Bücher nimmt Magie eine andere Form an und hat eine andere Grundlage.
Für Einzelheiten siehe meine Self-Replies unter diesem Post.

OK, San Francisco beer folks. I’m coming over from the East Bay for a poker game and need to pic up some beer. Good beer
Where are the best places in SF to buy single, local 16 oz. craft beers, ideally canned within the last week or so (or sure, 2-3 weeks)
If I find any good ones, I’ll post ‘em here…
(Oh yeah, I’m riding my bike from 16th St./Mission up windy mountain toward Kite Hill, but I’m wiling to get off any most any local SF BART stop)
