Yes! It’s right here! I have had nothing interesting to say for weeks or months on end! Meanwhile, congratulations to Annie Mole for keeping her Going Underground London Tube Blog fresh and interesting for almost nine years. We’ve been back from our most recent vacation (to Colorado again) for a couple of weeks, yet today is the first time I’ve been able to tear myself away from playing Bejeweled Blitz and the TV long enough to upload some of the pictures… which may or may not get uploaded to Flickr. I’ve got some photos from the recent “Pet Blessing” at…

Terra Nova tonight was predictable; show needs Mr Sulu running around with a sword and less pesky dinosaurs. 😉 @GeorgeTakei # In the coming weeks I predict the Terra Novans discover a "lost" tribe of humans descended from a penal colony, led by Crazy Math Boy. # Also in coming weeks, the little girl makes friends with a cute little dinosaur whose venom is the key to medical miracles. # Meanwhile, how long do the Terra Novans have until that asteroid strike? How does the rebooted human race survive global extinction? # Also in coming weeks, they meet some biped…
