The two days I got to spend with my brother were not enough. But, alas, I could not squeeze another day out.

The trip by train was nice. Ran a little late on the return trip, but still it beats driving. My first night of vacation was spent in Chicago catching up with old friends and meeting a new one.... well really we had known each other ( Read more... )

Wow has it been a long time.  I am going to go through a few things in no particular order.  Some you may care about, others not ( Read more... )

I have begun rewatching DS9 and I am reminded of my loathing of Keiko O'Brien.  I have spoken before about my dislike of "slash" in most mediums (including and especially Star Trek) but I can believe that Miles and Bashir have something going on, only because there is no way you could feel love from Keiko ( Read more... )
