The Doorway: a panfandom game

Turns out the grass isn't greener on the other side.

I'm not a fan of terrorists - to me they are cowards. Anyone who derives power and pleasure from the slaughter of innocents is not someone I can respect.

How is everyone reacting to this?

I haven't been sleeping well since the first broadcast.

Kirk mentioned this about two weeks ago and I figured since it's getting closer to the date that mentioning again wouldn't hurt; the Atlantic City Airshow* is on Wednesday, June 26th. The celebrations last all week, all along the boardwalk with things to do every day.

But, predictably, my focus is in the air. I bugged the hell out of them and managed a reserve spot even though I know I can fly circles around on the Warrior Flight team, which flies around 12:30. Chances of going up are pretty slim, but I'd still give a thumbs up to anyone who wanted to come out for the day and support the pilots. Or make fun of me for acting like a giddy kid.

I'll be there from Tuesday through the weekend, so if anyone decides to come out, I'll buy you a hotdog. And if you're worried about transport - Greyhound charges about $30 for round-trip bus fare, same day.

Okay, so a number of you are running into this problem too so... how do you deal with having your entire life basically out there? Your successes, failures, secrets? The worst days of your life?

This sucks. I miss him even more now

The Atlantic City Air Show or Thunder over the Boardwalk is at the end of June. I feel a field trip coming on.

Seems with all these new arrivals, we should have another get together. Are people free this weekend or next?

I've had the idea - which may be improbable - that we might be able to ask Stark Industries to develop a space program of their own. Non-military, exploration only.

[Bones & Chapel]

You can tear up those forms I signed the other week. Given up on giving up.

First off I've been pregaming for the weekend since Wednesday-ish so coherency may vary. With that being said -

I've been sitting on this for a while so I thought it was time for my poll the audience option. Dr. Strange among other very gifted doctor-types have been working on my case (apply now to be considered for the Dream Team) and he gave me a... thing. That's supposed to help.

Supposed to wear this before I go into chemo. Thoughts?

You can say tumor but no mention of the C word is allowed in this post.

I'm still skeptical, but if this actually turns out to be Amelia's plane, it's amazing. I've never bought into the spy-theorists, knowing full well that even a pilot as fantastic as Earhart can come across mechanical issues and end up stranded or crashing.

And apparently I have good timing, because just this morning I put a down payment on something I've been saving for since I arrived:



A 1941 Aeronca Chief. She needs a rebuilt engine and a paint job, and I still have to have her moved to a warehouse here so I can actually work on her, but at least now I have something to fiddle with when I can't sl on my downtime.

And if I get sent back, you guys better take damn good care of her.

If I'm going to get prodded by guys in suits they could at least buy me dinner first.

2013. Wow. I don't really know what to say to that, except that.. wow. This is amazing, like typing on a turn-of-the-century typewriter. The transportation! Primitive and And here we back are at wow, amazing like a damn broken record.

Oh! I'm so sorry, I should have introduced myself right off. Dr. Carol Marcus, Starfleet. I arrived just last night and have been getting acclimated to my new surroundings and adjusting to the difference in time. It's been... a process, to say the least, but I can make do. I may need a drink or three, but I imagine that gets said a lot around here.

I was told there were plenty of Starfleet here that I might know?

Do you have time for a game of chess this week?

How are you doing, doc?

I'd like to thank Ms. Emma Frost for all of the work she put into organizing today's safe sex seminar.

Should you have additional questions about the material covered in either of today's sessions, please don't hesitate to contact a medical professional. I'm sure that any of the physicians on the list that was included in the goodie bags from today's seminar would welcome such a discussion. Some topics are not always easy to approach in public venues, so I will be available by email, telephone, or personal meeting should anybody wish to discuss a matter privately.

Hey guys, know it's a bad week for you. Let me know if there's anything I can do. I can make a specialized filter for your tech to keep out any accidental spoilers/comments/what have you if you want extra protection from that. I also offer hugs and cupcakes.
