Nice piece celebrating Ray Bradbury and his 91st birthday. May he have many more. 
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion...-bradb20110822,0,5396702.story?track=lat-pickBradbury tells the story of how, as a boy in 1932, he went to a country fair where a carnival entertainer named Mr. Electrico touched him on the nose with an electrified sword, made his hair stand on end and shouted "Live forever!"
He has certainly achieved eternal life through his books, which are destined to live on. But it's beginning to seem as if he took the "live forever" command literally as well. On Monday Ray Bradbury turns 91, and his birthday is the perfect day to reflect on all he has given us.
