Alan Turing on the future
"We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done."
If only that future had included many more years of Turing, and the products of his genius.

I had to force myself to stop in the middle of the second installment (damn errands) but this is absolutely wonderful! Thank you for posting it; I am both looking forward to finishing it and trying to "save" as much as I can for later, if that makes sense.

Thanks Theresa. I'm glad our story presented you with this kind of dilemma! I hope you enjoy the rest when you get a chance...
That was wonderful story. Thank you for writing it.The Goodreads entry for the book is now up at [ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... ].
Thank you Kam-Yung. I appreciate the compliment and the help getting this listed. (I'm a rank amateur when it comes to working with Goodreads.)Again, many thanks!
Your welcome. Actually, I had nothing to do with getting the book listed on Goodreads. I just did a new search for it on Goodreads and the entry popped up.Unfortunately, Goodreads doesn't appear to show who actually created the entry.
