PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

The Rest Is Cylons

I wish I could take credit for that title, but alas, no. Again with the Grey Lady credit:

The Rest Is Cylons: Auction Helps Bid 'Galactica' Farewell

Compiled by DAVE ITZKOFF
Published: November 7, 2008


As viewers of the science-fiction television series “Battlestar Galactica” prepare to bid farewell to the show again, the studio that produces it will offer fans an opportunity to purchase memorabilia at a two-day auction in January, The Hollywood Reporter said. NBC Universal, which produces the contemporary remake of “Battlestar Galactica” (which had two short-lived incarnations between 1978 and 1980), will begin the auction at the Pasadena Convention Center in California with a preview on Jan. 16, to coincide with the start of the final season of the show that night on Sci Fi, and continue for two days. Hundreds of props and costumes will be offered, including the desk used by Admiral Adama (the character played by Edward James Olmos) and a distinctive red dress worn by the actress Tricia Helfer.

A version of this article appeared in print on November 7, 2008, on page C2 of the New York edition.

Santa? I'd like that infamous towel please. Or at the very least one of the log books.

'Kay? Thanks!
