Spider and Jeanne Robinson Need Our Help!
Jeanne Robinson has been diagnosed with a rare and virulent form of biliary cancer. In addition to aggressive treatment, she needs special therapies and supplements, counseling, and extensive diet and lifestyle changes to reduce her stress level and the strain on her liver. All those things are expensive... and like many artists the Robinsons were already running on fumes financially before the diagnosis. Now all of us who have been inspired by their work have an opportunity to give something back.
Spider's web site has the most recent information about how you can help support Spider and Jeanne on this new journey (scroll down to "Help Jeanne Stay Healthy"). Please check there for updates, and/or buy books via the Robinsons' Amazon Affiliate page, and/or make a donation to Jeanne's medical fund via Paypal (see We Dream For Jeanne for details).
This web site serves the alt.callahans, Undernet #callahans, Freenode #callahans, Delphi Callahans, and Live Journal Callahanians and Callahan's Place communities. Would you like your Callahanian community to be represented here? Just email Butterfly, the Callahans Web Content Fairy.
[Editorial from the Web Fairy: I've been operating in a vacuum for a long time. Am sitting down to update some links, but this is your site. (Yes, you! If you're reading this, I mean YOU!) I depend on you to let me know about new sites of interest, news about all things Callahanian, and changes that need to be made. Please let me know what you want to see here! —Butterfly]
We've recently been getting a lot of email about not being able to figure out how to read alt.callahans. For those of you having trouble in this area, we recommend Google Groups.

Shared pain is lessened. Shared joy is increased. Thus we refute entropy. --Spider Robinson |

"Belaboring The Obvious" is, in his words, "a combination of reading—the first chapter of my current Bantam hardcover CALLAHAN'S KEY—and music—the four songs I recorded with the legendary guitarist Amos Garrett for Josh Mandel's splendid 1997 computer game "Callahan's Crosstime Saloon." See the website for further info, including MP3 soundclips and jewelbox artwork. If this CD project flies—read: if I don't lose my shirt—there will be more CDs in future, of both reading and music. The project was conceived and produced by my darling Jeanne."
