Today is our 20th Anniversary.
We both have stuff going on tonight, a Wednesday, so we'll probably do dinner tomorrow night.
Steve's got the shooting range and I've got the NAMI family support class.
So nothing, of course on TV for me. I finished the Brant book (meh) and now I'm trying to figure out what's next to read. In fiction.
In nonfiction, I'm starting THE SCIENCE OF BATTLESTAR GALACTICA by Patrick Di Justo and Kevin R. Grazier.
Battlestar Galactica (BSG) has been called the best show on television, and as real as science fiction gets. It has dealt with issues of religious freedom, patriotism, terrorism, genetic engineering, and the ultimate science fiction question: what does it mean to be human? While the re-imagined BSG may not be packed with cool techie tools (the bad guys don't even have laser guns for frak's sake!), this book shows that the science in the series has a lot to say about the use of science and technology in our lives today. What are the principles behind artificial gravity and sublight propulsion? Are Cylons men or machines? How are humanoid Cylons able to interface with computers? By tackling these and other intriguing questions, The Science of Battlestar Galactica takes us billions of miles away from Earth so that we can turn around and see ourselves from a different perspective.
Have a great day
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
