Grant Di Palma asks in the comments to More Star Trek episode essays

I’m curious to know if the plan here is to gradually reprint all of the BID columns. Or just a few selected editions? It would be nice to have a permanent resource to reference for these columns.

Yes, we plan to reprint most of them (there are occasional guest columns and the like that are still up in the air, and some that we don’t have files for that I’ll be dámņëd if I’m going to retype) at the rate of about one a day. Since we’re currently reprinting columns from 1991, that means it’s going to be about two years before we’re up to date.

As Corey Tacker points out, you have your choice of indexes, in HTML or Excel Spreadsheet, and there’s the sidebar link that will take you to the archives directly.

(If I were crass, this would be a good time to remind you of the PayPal tip jar. Good thing I’m not crass.)

What else is there to say? The dreaded prospect of being down 3 and 0 in a best of seven contest is no longer an insurmountable obstacle. No matter what happens in the World Series, the Red Sox have already given their fans a triumph they can hang their hats on for quite some time. I would absolutely have killed for a television image of Steinbrenner when the final out was recorded. Being near Mt. St Helens was a cakewalk…indeed, probably preferable…insofar as the Yankee management is concerned.

Hëll can start handing out the collection basket, for it will most certainly be paid.

Is anyone going to get ANY work done in Boston today? Or for the coming week?
