I guess it's BC Day? As statutory holidays go, that one is pretty provincial.

Ha, ha.

I went looking for an online copy of Samuel R. Delany's short story, "The Star Pit"; I didn't find it, but I did find a near-relative, which is this reading of the story as a radio show. I've only listened to the first segment so far, and it's hard to say whether I'd get the same information from it that I got from reading, because the story is fresh enough in my mind that I can just sort of overlay the information over what I'm hearing, so I don't know whether to recommend it as I'd intended to recommend the text. Some of the voices (like the two-year-old's) are very irritating, and others are just surprising; I thought for sure that Delany himself would be a rumbling bass.
