First Shot: The Wednesday Medley

Today is NATIONAL SCIENCE FICTION DAY

National Science Fiction Day is celebrated annually on January 2nd by millions of science fiction fans across the United States. The date of January 2 was chosen for National Science Fiction Day as it corresponds with the birth date of famed science fiction writer Isaac Asimov. National Science Fiction Day is recognized by the Hallmark Channel and the Scholastic Corporation.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Watch some classic science fiction t.v. shows or movies. Start reading a science fiction novel. Use #ScienceFictionDay to post on social media.

Will you observe National Science Fiction Day as recommended above? Do you even like science fiction?

No, I will not be observing National Science Fiction Day. I do like science fiction to a certain extent. I got into Star Trek in college. I watched all the series up through Voyager, but I totally lost interest with Enterprise (Scott Bakula? Really?). I also enjoyed the movies up through Generations. I watched the original Star Wars trilogy in my 20's and refuse to watch any of the new movies. I hope to get around to watching all this again sometime.

Have you chosen a "word" for 2019? Many people do. THIS QUIZ might help you find your word!!

I posted about my one word, "upgrade," here.

Did you stay up to see the new year in? Are you happy or sad to see 2018 go?

No, I stayed up long enough for the new year to ring in on the East Coast, which is 10:00 p.m. Mountain Time. I'm happy to see 2018 go, but not for bad reasons. I'm glad for a new year with new possibilities.

I really enjoy the Tournament of Roses parade on New Year's Day but rarely get to sit and enjoy the entire parade because I am cooking. Did you watch the parade? Did you cook/eat the traditional foods (pork, black-eyed peas, kraut, greens...) to begin the new year?

Nope. I would have eaten blackeyed peas on New Year's Day, but I forgot to pick up some at the grocery store. Oh well. I did eat spinach in my smoothie. Does that count as greens.

I have to ask... Resolutions. Did you make any or set some new goals for 2019? Or do you even think about it?

I set goals and work on action steps to accomplish them. I will spend most of the month of January preparing for the rest of the year.  I'm also still coming up with fun activities for #MyMythicalYear.

Tell us something random about your week.

Not much to tell. I've been on "staycation" since Christmas. We've had snow here in Colorado, so I'm not venturing out until I'm sure the roads (and the driveway) are safe to traverse.
