About Me
- Name: Chancelucky
- Location: United States
I've written for many years and see this as a way to both get what I write to the world wide web at large and to encourage myself to write on a regular basis. Besides, it hopefully keeps me out of trouble like bidding on E-Bay for things I don't really need or want. Thanks for having a look and I encourage comments on any items here. An interview with me by Bellarossa appears here link.

That's quite excellent Chancelucky. "Fiction Revision" could have also been the title :-). Oh and thanks for making me relive the horrors of powdered milk too!
The illuminating fascinations of this piece is exactly why I want the Lucky Tang novel finished so you can write so many more of these true fictions.
Thanks Dale....I'm noticing now that the paragraphing didn't carry through to the online copy .....so it couldn't have been easy for you to read the thing....
I had powdered milk a few times as a kid....it was frightening tasting stuff.
Mr PB,
wow, how weird I was responding to Dale and you must have commented at the same moment.
Again thanks for reading the thing, how does anyone read it without paragraphs?
Absolutely captivating.
Game theory, decision theory, chancelucky.
Thanks GT,
you now the Chancelucky thing hadn't occured to me re the game/decision theory thing..
The blogging name came from the names of our dogs at the time. Lucky died last year.
Sorry about Lucky (I daren't make the obvious quip)
If the names in your piece have not been changed to protect the innocent, then I am very impressed by your accomplishments, though not surprised, given the quality of your writing.
I'm fascinated by Geography of Time.
I've been Googling.
;)
GT,
I had to google Robert Levine myself. No, I didn't realize that there was a real Robert Levine who writes books when I wrote this story. The Geography of Time does sound pretty interesting, very similar to Edward Hall's books about non verbal communication.
There were real people who did serve as models for this particular story though.
Interesting. I was too young during Watergate and the Vietnam era to really pay attention as the history unfolded, but have learned a little more about it over time. As I get older, I hate war more and realize that its mostly an excuse for the well connected to war profiteer.
There are a few books that I wonder if you have read.
Soldiers of Reason: The RAND Corporation and the Rise of the American Empire by Alex Abella
Anything by Robert Caro, who wrote about Robert Moses and has been brilliant in his trilogy on LBJ.
