Sunday stuff

Back to the house, was struggling with the routine transition anxiety this morning.  T & B are on a hike with Dax, I'm envious of their exercise but should probably give my foot another day to chill -- it is feeling almost all better this morning, which means it wasn't a stress fracture, whew.

I think I do want to commit to re-reading the Mars Trilogy, but last night I found the first page so trippy I think I could spend the rest of my life reading one page per day.  Well, it is 2,000 pages so even at that pace I can finish it before I retire, heh.

I'll see what T wants to do from our Joint To Do List this afternoon, if anything.  Then I need to do an hour or two of work that I should've done Friday.  Then I'll see whether I can fit in an online game with Steve.

I think the result of my Zero Population ramblings is probably going to be this --> I'll just do what I can to nudge our species toward a less rapacious and more submissive m.o., starting with nudging myself, but knowing I cannot control the outcome.

6 pages down ;-)

How to say that even if living creatures were no more than carriers for ruthless genes, this was still somehow better than the blank mineral nothingness of everything else?
