Man, can a four-day weekend throw you off your game. Well, okay, there were freelance work distractions, too. But here it is, page 9, on a Friday evening. Cold one, too, so I took my son to get some hot chocolate and a pumpkin scone from a drive-through coffee place. Cozy, warm and full of sugar. That’s the way to be.

This week we plow further into the depths of Mr. Guzek’s laboratory. I don’t know what those clone things are, either. Chloe has taken a there-but-for-the-madness-of-an-amateur-scientist-go-I approach, or better them than me. One of those.

And, alas, the time machine is a total bust. It worked at least once, though, right?

Next week is Thanksgiving week here in the USofA, so there will probably be another delay. If you are celebrating with family and friends for Thanksgiving –or for whatever reason you deem appropriate (“Yay, it’s a day ending in ‘y’!”)– have fun ’til then.
