The Week To Beat

If I can manage to get through this week -- and by "get through" I don't mean the usual run, duck & cover, repeat scramble through endless, muddy foxholes waiting for an armistice to make the situation go away -- with an achievable path in place in the workplace... I'll have some hope for the first time in far longer than I care to consider.

If I can do that -- though at this stage I don't know exactly what I'm going to be able to pull off -- then by the time I hit the weekend (always supposing something else doesn't go horribly wrong) I'll be looking ahead to a very nice stretch of days, going through July 4th.

So, if it's your wish and your way, wish me luck, inspiration and protection.

This may be a quiet week for me on the blog.

Good luck.
thanks for the kind comment. i am going to see him today, if possible...at the latest, thursday.
i don't think i have much time to do this. i've been down once, a few weeks ago, but i have to go again as soon as possible.
it will be okay. he's made his peace with it. it's just so much harder for those of us left behind.
here's hoping we both have a peaceful week.

Thanks.

A situation like his - and yours & the kids - does help put many other problems in perspective. Sure, every situation is about locating options and acting while they are options, but some deadlines are more final than others, and some bridges can only be crossed once.

Best of luck from all of us, buddy. You'll pull through.

Thanks, Tony!

So far this week I've remained in sitting duck mode, dealing with other work but not being able to muster the focus I need to begin to tackle... what needs to be done.

Good luck, and I wish you that inspiration and protection, as well as courage to get the task done.

Tim & Mark, thanks, too! Getting past both the standard workload and the sheer reluctance to attempt to get a handle on the task is what I'm battling with today.

Hopefully good news to report by Friday.

(TV/streaming video) New & Leftover Items, a Touch of 2024, and some Nostalgic Forensics

    So much else calling out for attention, and with watchables already piled up, finding even more things to watch doesn't seem like much of a sane prospect. I'm not even fishing around for new things at the moment, as I need to get some other things done and make some attempt to round out my life a little.       This week on Paramount+, the fourth season of the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks came to a satisfying end. A manic pace of in-universe nods continues to give it the Star Trekiest of Trek feels with the casual, plot-essential trivia drawn from decades of Star Trek shows, woven throughout.       Also there, the contemporary Frasier series' first season hits its halfway point with episode five. I'm enjoying it, but it continues to walk a wobbly line as some of it works smoothly while other moments reek of formula, with some of each overlapping. I'd be very interested in seeing how well or not this new series works on its o...

Catching Up with Old Friends (Streaming media series)

   I haven't done any blogging posts on current and streaming media since November 3rd, which broke a streak of weekly ones that had been going since September of 2019 - albeit as part of a different, group, blog. As with many such inactions, it wasn't intended as a formal stoppage, just a momentary delay, but here it is five weeks later. This post's linking theme is the return of fondly-remembered characters. It really should include the recent arrival to streaming of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny over on Disney+, but I haven't really mustered my reactions to that. Instead, I'll stick with two other nostalgic items that arrived this week.       Yesterday saw the arrival of the season finale, episode ten, of Kelsey Grammar's return of Frasier Crane in the 2023 iteration of Frasier , over on Paramount+.      The series picked up on the titular character in the present, whom we haven't seen since his 11-season first series wr...

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where...
