[Millitimed to back in October sometime: Two doctors talk about death, life, and Death. Not necessarily in that order.]

Once in a while, it's a nice thing to make your own drink, and with gin that was not distilled two hours ago in a contraption that involves one of Trapper McIntyre's (clean, or so he says) tube socks. Hawkeye has never been shy; when he places a hand on the countertop -- almost as if preparing to dance -- and inquires, "May I?" he receives a note ( Read more... )

[On Santo:

In the afternoon, Simon Tam spends some time on the beach with an extradimensional colleague.

And later in the evening, he talks with his wife.]

Since landing on Santo, Simon's had very little to do aside from study. And, as has been noted before, there is only so much studying one can do at once.

And for the moment, he doesn't feel like exploring the area.
