Running back on track!
It has been a long-time coming too. Exercise does help me feel better yet it kept being put off while I was recovering. When I returned to work, I took things in baby steps (and still am) by getting to … Continue reading
This month’s header, DS9 final
No luck finding a picture of the seventh season’s cast that was wide enough for the header but I think I made a good try. Not sure why the hell a space station would need a counselor when they’re orbiting … Continue reading
Happy belated birthday to me
Yeah yeah yeah, I have been rather absent from my own site but I was rather sick and uninspired through my illness…and in general. However, I got some stronger and better treatment in which I feel much, much stronger through. … Continue reading

Thirteen years of marriage!
Hard to believe I made it this far! Well, not really. Somara is truly a great match for me after all the past girlfriends I had (very few) that could be into the geeky stuff I like. The beauty is, … Continue reading

Happy Birthday Christina!
Here’s to my friend who mastered speaking two additional languages in an English-speaking desert! Aka Central IL. She also taught me the Jedi Mind trick for job interviews, ask me someday. I managed to find a lion-themed card for against … Continue reading
Belated July Header
Now is my favorite commanding officer…Sisko! He’s not my choice to be weird or contrary. To me Benjamin Sisko is the most human of the starship/starbase commanders. Unlike the others, he was married and he almost quit Starfleet because his wife … Continue reading

Getting better, early June report
Saw the doctor to review the steps I’ve made going forward and backward but overall I feel forward is winning. Does he agree? I think he’ll tell me next week when I have a follow up.

Rest in Peace Cousin Jason
I only received the news last week over my cousin’s passing in April. I won’t go into the details of the hows or whys because they’re not relevant here. I want to honor him for the good times we had as … Continue reading
For June, kind of a part two
ST:NG in their final TV incarnation of the primary crew wearing the nicer uniforms with the high collars.
Saw the doctor yesterday, episode late May
The picture above is a representation of my ongoing illness, not what a doctor visit is like. That would be something showing efficiency. It was a stroke of luck he could see me a day sooner than planned. Lately, the medication … Continue reading
A new month, new header for Star Trek
For May we’re finally up to the first incarnation of Star Trek: The Next Generation which took up the torch from Kirk’s crew in 1987 on TV. The first season was shaky thanks to Roddenberry recycling his less interesting ideas from Star Trek: … Continue reading
Output has been low this year
For my faithful readers, thanks for sticking with me over these years and no, I’m not throwing in the towel. Picayune is just undergoing a lull. It hasn’t been for a lack of material. I mastered the art of finding something … Continue reading

We joined the 21st Century…
I think we were already there, we just finally caught up on the TV front thanks to the original TV we had dying at a bad time; Daredevil season two was posted by Netflix! We had to dip into our vacation fun … Continue reading
Happy April!
I decided to let April Fool’s Day go. Miette may be 17 but she’s hanging in there with her thyroid issue and Apple turning 40 didn’t really inspire much. Couldn’t think of a good prank neither. The header above is … Continue reading
