 BTW, so long as we happen to be in the same moment, I was wondering if you would be willing to spend a couple days at the 1983 WorldCon? I've already arranged a panel that will discuss who is the better captain: Kirk or Picard. I'm taking Sisko, and I need someone to take the Picard position. Are you interested? On a related note, if anyone still has the notes they wrote during the panel, would you mind sharing them with me? I'd like to know what I'm going to say.  |

			Time to get dressed and make my way into town. Borders is launching the Kobo reader today and I am going to have a look at it.

			Currently trying my hardest to recreate an art-deco style poster.  God-damn but it shouldn't be this hard.

 Border in town has 3 Kobo eReaders on display. I had a play with one, talked to some interested parties about MR   and about other eReader related stuff. Having said that - the staff at Borders were helpful and able to answer my questions.I still wouldn't buy a Kobo - I think for what it does it's overpriced. But that's me. While in town I took myself across the Farmer's market. Spend a bit of money there too (never can help myself around food). Now I have to re-think the menu for this week: Meal 1 for tonite: hot smoked salmon with steamed green aspargus and creamy mashies Meal 2: Chorrizo with broadbean mash and sauteed potatoes (got myself some kipflers for that) Meal 3: Green Cabbage with tummy speck, oak smoked sausages and Kassler - will have to start cooking that tomorrow Meal 4: fried Leberkaese with potatoes and fried egg, salad on side Meal 5: Borscht - made with those cute little red beets I picked up Oh, and while I am browsing MR, I am munching on freshly baked 5-grain bread German style with Appenzeller cheese from a Swiss cheesemaker. Gosh, I am in a happy place right now. Must be one of my better days

	I was going to post something brilliant and inspirational, but now I can't because Katti's Cat is eating. I got two complaints that my posts make people choke on their food or cause liquids to shoot out their nostrils.  |

			Sorry for that. Wouldn't want you choking on a comment so feel free to pm me. I got a tough stomach and nothing will make me loose my food (expect one of those nasty tummy bugs)
