Days of the Weeks language this week: Esperanto

Speaking of the moon... I read another great book by David Weber this weekend. Sallie reminded me she had loaned it to me at Christmas so once I finished the Honor Harrington books I had from the library I dug into Empire from the Ashes, an omnibus of a trilogy he published in the early 1990s. It was so good I couldn't put it down, not even for Facebook! There is much in the third book that foreshadows his Safehold series which made me ache for the next one that's coming out later this year. Anyway.... about the moon, in Empire one of the first things we discover is that our moon is no longer a moon but a spaceship (a really big one!). Another interesting discovery is that humans on Earth were a result of a mutiny aboard said spaceship about fifty thousand years ago. And the moon spaceship's computer has been hanging around all that time and gradually became nearly sentient. So cool.

I got the proof of the magazine from the printers today. There were a couple things to fix: a typo and a graphic wasn't printing properly. I'll be headed over there to do a press check with the editor tomorrow afternoon. Then I'm stopping at Sallie's to pick up the newest Kitty book which she got at her store. After that I need to drop off my library books and do some grocery shopping. I may have to blog from home tomorrow. We'll see.
