Nice weekend

Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend here in the states...

My mom, bro & I went on a short roadtrip up to our old stomping grounds in Putnam County (NY State) for a few days.

( Highlights of the trip included... )

Also, for reasons I probably do not have to get into here on LJ with my fannish peoples: this editorial in last week's ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY fills me with joy.  Not only does it echo both my own suspicions, and the recent statements by TV showrunners Ron Moore and Josh Schwartz - it's just great to see it printed for posterity in a major magazine.

( I wanted to quote the best bits under the cut. )
