to live at Random.''

The Skinner and Michael recite Tennyson's The Charge of the Light Brigade.
ALC: ``Kate, we still need to figure out if you're a demon or not... do we have any ducks around
here?''

We got a call from Marc Alpert asking where his tax donation letter is. We've started processing it, and Andrew will work on it more this weekend.

Kate needs to read the PicnicComm rites. The Onseck frobs the appropriate lists.
Usual &c.
BING!
Next week the Coolidge Corner Theater is showing the original Gojira (Godzilla) with the 40 minutes which were cut out of the standard American release.
Slashdot reports that ``TrekToday reports that Paramount has asked 'Lost' creator J.J. Abrams to direct a new Star Trek film. The movie will be set at Starfleet Academy and will feature younger versions of James T. Kirk and Spock, chronicling their first meeting at the Academy and their first outer space mission. The movie is set for a 2008 release and will apparently be one of Paramount's biggest projects for the year.''
Motion to resurrect Jim Henson to make a Starfleet Babies series properly passes 9-4-6 plus Spehn.

BING!
In the future, there will be a picnic.
