Took DGma's poll. Waiting for lunch to microwave. Then I'm headed out to run some errands on this beautiful day.

I would get her a reader or a rifle if she wanted them. She actually doesn't like when I buy her stuff that is too expensive... so why make her fret. She has said a few times she doesn't want a Kindle... although I have caught her using mine a few times (it sits in the "reading room").

I actually found a nice silver necklace with a floating heart pendant that had a diamond in it. It was $100 and I know she wouldn't have liked me to spend that much. So, I went to target and found something similar with cubic zirconia for quite a bit less money... I hope she likes it. I'll give it to her tonight when we go out for dinner... I am thinking Carrabba's...

He didn't know what a tribble was, so last night I introduced my 11-year-old grandson to The Trouble With Tribbles. And just a couple of minutes ago, we just finished watching the DS9 follow-up episode, Trials and Tribble-ations.

There's something to be said for tradition!

That was one of the few good DS9 episodes. Of all the Trek's I rate DS9 the lowest.

Is it just me, or is this kind of sentence structure a relatively new fad in English? I mean starting a sentence with a pronoun (he) and only introducing the name afterward (grandson), when logically it should be the other way around. I keep noticing it since I read a cheap romance (free, actually ) where it felt like every second sentence used that structure. It annoyed me, not because of the structure itself but because it was used so often. But lately I also noticed it in a book by China Miéville, and elsewhere.

It's neither new nor usual, but I've seen it done from time to time. It breaks up the monotony a bit from having to say everything the same old way.
