Do they just give these things away?

Another weekend! I'm going to start taking these for granted if I'm not careful. Actually, apropos to not having to go into work on weekends these days, I just had a nice conversation with Richard from Friday's. It seems he only recently got the message that I'm moving on into the physicist portion of my life so we straightened out the mixed signals and I told him I wouldn't be a stranger. In fact, I mentioned that I had been thinking about trying another one of those weekendy things and watching locals sports team football competition on the television so we engaged in manly talk and ended the conversation with a $5 bet on the Pats-Jets game. If any of my readers knows anything of how I can expect this bet to turn out, I ask him or her to spare me the enlightenment until Monday. The point really isn't to make $5.

Melisa and I saw a play called Crush Depth at the Players' Ring last night; it was phenomenal. The show is meant to be a psycho-thriller set in a submarine that was sent, via an uncontrolled dive, to the bottom of the ocean during a rescue mission. Strange things happen. Were the bridge crew unconscious for ten minutes of four hours? Where are the rest of the ships men and why are there strange markings on the walls? There is suspicion that someone put a neuro-toxic chemical into the air conditioning system and there is a Russian sub in the area but the real excitement comes when we learn details of the science mission sent to tag along with the rescue. Seafaring folklore involving Bermuda Triangle-type regions of no return meets scifi hypotheses about a transient space-time rift created by the quantum drive engine of a strange ship, itself lodged among the wrecks at the bottom. I'm sorry that it ends Sunday night so most of you won't be able to catch it!

Now I have a solid day of doing homework and correcting physics activities. I think I will take my work and coffee out onto the porch.
