Writing Box, Ogawa Haritsu (Ritsuō) (Japanese, 1663–1747)


Daily Thoughts 03/10/2017

I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library this morning.


I also checked the displays and the gift books.


On the way to work, I read some of Arkwright by Allen Steele.  This is a story with a what if? premise.  What if a successful golden age science fiction writer had established a foundation to build an interstellar spaceship.  It is hard science fiction which extrapolates from existing possibilities.


I have been looking at some of the old programs which I did from last year.

I have been watching some Star Trek the Next Generation to relax at night.  I watched the first season.  I find Gene Roddenberry's message inspiring.
