My mother has been in the hospital for about two weeks. I flew down to Florida last week to see her. It's been quite a roller coaster ride. Yesterday we were talking about what she needed to do to get ready to go to rehab. Today she developed a whole new problem and isn't looking like she'll be with...

Happy Earth Day! So far, this is the only planet we've got. We had better take good care of it!

Happy Yuri's Night! Yuri Gagarin was the first human in space on April 12 54 years ago. 20 years after that, the first Space Shuttle launched on April 12. For the last 14 years, there have been parties and events around the world (including in Antartica and on the International Space Station) to cel...

Today was my first full day without crutches. I'll still be using a cane for a while but that is so much easier! It was such a pretty day that I walked a little over a mile after work.

Probably not accurately enough. I think I was getting dressed when the moment passed in my time zone.

Happy Pi Day! There's one day each century with the date 3.1415 and time 92653 and today is the day. Having been a math major long ago, I thought I should celebrate. Getting a t-shirt and the Scientific American special issues featuring Pi (three of em over the last 50 years or so) didn't seem quite...

Thanks, 73Bruin!

Leonard Nimoy's passing is sad, but it has been wonderful to see the many and varied tributes. I hope he realized what an amazing impact he had.

All this is great. Thank you!

Thanks, Alelou. I just downloaded it. I've been buying books faster than I've been reading them, so it may take me a while to read and review. It has been an interesting couple of days writing-wise. Last week the hospital where I work told us that we would have an active shooter drill this week. I w...

Thanks, Eireann!

Good point. The pictures I've been looking at don't have enough resolution, but I think the shirt has buttons.

Thanks, Asso and Eireann. It makes more sense for me for Trip not to be wearing trousers under the jumpsuit. I'll go with that.

I'm working on revising a story and I keep getting stuck on little details. One of them is what to call the shirt that Trip wears under his jumpsuit. I've always thought of it as a henley. Memory Alpha calls it a mock turtleneck but that doesn't seem quite right to me. My other uniform question is a...
