I've started burning some new discs for Mollie; discs of old Doctor Who serials; there are less than 30 left to give her before she'll have all the available Who stories. I have 5 discs ready for her now. I'll try to finish a 6th before Mark gets home.

I've started reading a new book. It's another Trek book. This one only came out a few months back. I had started reading it when it arrived before deciding to go in another direction with my reading. I didn't start where I left off this time though, I just started over. The book is called "Forged In Fire" and is filled with continuity from multiple Trek sources. It follows up on several Enterprise & Classic Trek episodes, and lays the groundwork for many episodes to come, though none more than "Bload Oath", a 2nd Season DS9 episode, which has long been a favorite episode of mine.

The book I've started is also a good jumping off point for the Lost Era. The Lost Era being a series of books that are mostly set between Kirk's presumed death in the prologue to the first Next Generation film "Generations" (set in 2293) and the launch of the Enterprise-D in "Encounter at Farpoint, Part I", the first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation (which is set in 2364). The most recent DS9 release, and it's forthecoming sequels, belong to this subset of Trek novels, and though I'm eager to read those, I've been wanting to read the entire Lost Era section for quite some time, and I own them all, so I've decided to read those at this time.

I'm tired. And I feel hot. It must have warmed up outside, or the neighbors have the heat blasting - either way, I need to take my prilosec and cool down.

Mark mailed out our tax info today, or soon will. He left me a message asking me to bag up any trash and he'd take it out when he gets home. Speaking about him getting home, when he does I need to go to Carrie's and she'll return my BSG discs to me, so that I can let Michael Anderson from work borrow them. lol. And cycle continues...
