It's just a story.

That was so. much. better. than "Father's Day".

Paul Cornell wrote both that and the more recent "Human Nature/The Family of Blood". The latter was apparenty adapted from a novel that he wrote. I wasn't incredibly impressed by "Father's Day" -- it had an okay gimmick, but it just didn't grab me... this was different. Oh, it was beautiful. Right up there with Steven Moffat's stories (his "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances" won a Hugo award, rightfully so).

"Human Nature" had a delightful hook, and it didn't slow down for an instant. ( Neither do the spoilers. )

Time to move on.

I can see that Steven Moffat's latest is coming up. He'll be hard pressed to top this, but if anyone can, it's him.

Flat.

I guess my work for today is done. Whether I want it to be or not.

Crossing fingers that sometime this evening I'll be breathing easily enough to make bread... I've been craving it all week, and I wouldn't have any trouble with getting it to rise in this weather.

Since I'm here, and I'm bored...
