NYRSF 345 Editorial: Ouch, Vile Jelly
I had hoped that this issue would be out the last week in January, but my plans got tossed into a cocked hat around the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday weekend when I noticed that my right eye had developed some large amentlike floaters and flashes of bright light at the edge. My ophthalmologist referred me to a specialist who spotted three small tears in the retina. This is a common condition in middle-aged nearsighted people, but it can get much worse very quickly, so she indicated that it would be the course of prudence to immediately submit to tender loving laser repair.

NYRSF 344 Editorial: Years End
So another year ends. We only brought out six issues over the last 12 months, but I’m happy with how they came out, and our platters are full to overflowing with material for the next few months so I have some hope that we will start to stagger back toward monthly.

NYRSF 343 Editorial: Plex: A Parable
I have a hobby—well, not so much a hobby as a habit. When I meet people, I punch them in the solar plexus. Well, again, “punch” isn’t the right word. Most times, it’s a just a light tap, a brush that passes quickly. Other times, if circumstances permit and the mood of the moment seems just right, I really haul off and punch. It’s my way of getting to know people, a little signature touch to assure that both I and my newfound acquaintance remember the moment.

NYRSF 342 Editorial: Best Laid
This did not end up being the July issue, as I had hoped it would be; life continues, in its various ways, to confound our plans. Our next issue should be out at the beginning of September, though, and I hope that we can return to something like our previous Rube Goldberg clockwork precision.

NYRSF 341 Editorial: The Time Warp
The eagle-eyed among you may well have noticed that we have skipped the cover date of this issue several months forward from the previous issue—this is June 2017, reflecting the actual publication date, as opposed to #340’s December 2016, which came out in mid-April.
Go get our latest issue, NYRSF #356, February 2022, if it please you!
