gnomi-- Overarching Rosh Hashanna menu goal: Avoid the Butcherie if at all possible. Alas, I failed in this goal, since Stop & Shop was out of shredded mozzerella cheese, but mabfan and I went to Butcherie at 6:45 this morning and got in and out within 5 or so minutes, so not so bad.
-- As I first mentioned in a comment incbpotts' journal, baseball is that sport in which the players have a pH greater than 7.
-- If you have a birthday 13-15 September, fear not; you are not forgotten. I will be catching up with greetings after Shabbat.
-- A mini-rant: The weirdest things knock me out of stories. I'm a pedant about the placement of AD in dates (though I tend to use BCE/CE rather than BC/AD). So when I read a story where consistently the dates are written, for example, as 17 September 1997 AD (rather than 17 September AD 1997), it makes me twitch every single time. BC, BCE, and CE all go *after* the year, so I can see where the confusion comes from. But still. Every single time.
-- When my knitting-geek-ness and SF-geek-ness collide: I'm currently knitting this. Extermiknit!
