Open Thread Monday

[filkertom]

Light rain in Ann Arbor, 37° . I'm preparing a small update to the web page, which I hope will be ready by Wednesday.  (I wanted it to be last week, but errands got in the way.)

So how's your Monday?

The laundry was still wet. I left the house in damp stretch-velvet pants. Thank goodness for small portable space heaters.

Still, it's gorgeously sunny and my flowers look nice.

How's yours?

So far, so good. New Digikey on my desk, tunes on the MP3 player and lunch starting in 30 minutes. Life ain't half bad some days.

Definitely could be a better Monday. (And it has nothing to do with the football game..)

Sunny and relatively warm (for Feb.) here at the Big Blue House in Milford, MA. Saw my chiropractor this morning as I put my back out on Friday shoveling heavy, wet snow... and have done 3 loads of laundry so far today. So it is a good Monday indeed.

Cold and icy this morning. Not enough sleep last night. They are installing cubicles in the hall outside my office, darn it.

Overall, I've had better, but I've also had worse. A bit early to judge, really.

Foggy. Doing some writing today before another shift of cashier-monkeying.

I'm completely freaking out about money and fatherhood. The child is due any week now and the office's cash flow barely makes the overhead. Am I gonna get to take time off for paternity? Tune in in another few episodes and find out.

Thanks for asking.

*blessings* on your incipient child and all his family. What he needs most, you can afford, that's hugs and love.

Mondayish. Weather in the 50's-ish and sprinkly, with a few breaks in the clouds. May look for rainbows later.

vaguely monday-ish. made a large batch of red beans and rice, leaving at 4 to go to work. that's about all. tomorrow, that's the interesting day...

Hmm...

Cold and wet in Kansas. On the other hand, some of my research work is coming along very nicely and causing me to cackle fiendishly.

And... I can go home to play World of Warcraft in less than an hour!

One in three American high school students think the First Amendment "goes too far."

That's how my Monday is.

Oh, and I'm sick as a dog, too.

Ron Moore: "Star Trek has been returned to the care of its community of fans."

Ron Moore, former Trek writer/producer, offers his take on last week's cancellation of Enterprise, and how this may actually be a good thing for the franchise, here (http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/).

Opinions?

That's actually an excellent take on the situation. God knows a few years without the influence of Berman and Braga can only be good.

For my own part, what made me craziest about Trek the last fifteen years was that they'd do straight-up, no-nonsense, John W. Campbell-method extrapolation... about the stupidest premises. It would've been superb SF, if not for the spurious crap they started from, time and again.
