For Almost Every End, We Have A Beginning

The end is in sight for the 2017 woodwork project. Thank goodness! The sheer amount of work involved in making four little bookcases has been mad! Mad! Even with the shaping almost completely done, there will still be the fixing of backs, treating, painting, assembly (not in that order) and all kinds of odd little adjustments. Is it worth it? Is it? It probably is. Today, bookcases. Tomorrow, the world! Mwahahahahahhaha! Mwahahahah--- Enough of that. There's no telling who might get the wrong idea about diabolical cackling.

Ah, the joy of writing on the spur of the moment. It could turn out wonderfully, or it could be total gibberish. It could even be both! That would be a turn-up for the books. Sadly, it's not the right time to write about the conclusion of the 'Conan' stories, which was oddly disappointing and unrepresentative of the whole. That will be for tomorrow, or the following day.

The next year of Open University study is just a day or two away. It's very scary. It's time to get down into the language pit once again, but this time with gusto and determination. Seasonal depression will have to be shunted to one side, so that the beginning of the year goes much more smoothly, or it will all go very oddly indeed. Very oddly. It might set a record.

Oh, in radio news, two new series are added into the Old Time Radio rotation, as the plan to get sucked back into the 1950s by osmosis continues. In addition to 'Richard Diamond', 'The Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show', 'The Jack Benny Program' and 'The Shadow', there are now also 'Suspense' and 'Escape!'. That's quite a powerhouse lineup, all things considered. Oh, oh, we should add the BBC contingent to that list: 'Sherlock Holmes', 'The Navy Lark' and 'Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy'! What else should go on there? We'll have to see.
