    I bought the sea monkeys. I really wanted those smiling, waving little pets.

    I came close to writing a biography of Harold von Braunhut. It was about 5 years ago and publishers were keen on biogs of 'quirky' people. The trouble with von B. was that it would be difficult to write a sympathetic account due to his political views.

    I love Sea Monkeys and I still regularly buy them.
