Responsible Hopping

    To all my fellow parallel universe travelers out there.  Jump responsibly!

Vacation

    It's the best week of the year to take vacation.  For a mere 3-day "official" vacation investment you get nine days off .  I was busy today doing a bunch of errands.  Thursday's Thanksgiving, and  I'll be busy on Friday putting up Xmas lights.

    But Tuesday and Wednesday, I plan to hop across a couple dimensions and hang out at the castle pictured here.  It's a great place to catch up on your reading, as there is very little moving around.

    And for those of you who are skeptical (yea, even cynical) concerning Dimension-Hopping, be sure to watch the NOVA special called "Fabric of the Cosmos" on PBS on Wednesday night (check local listings).  Dimension-Travel will be one of the topics addressed, albeit, they refer to is as "Multiverses".

Parallel Universes

    There's Time Travel and there's Dimension Hopping.  Both of these are fairtly straightforward, once you get the hang of it.  But visiting Parallel Universes is a bit trickier.  You're there, and you're there also.  But one of the you's isn't you, cuz he/she was subject to a different set of events following a spin-off at a Key Historical Juncture.

    That's how Parallel Universes come into existence, you know - at critical points in History.   In theory, there are an infinite number of PU's.  But when you're in one, with another you, it's dreadfully diffucult to make a jump to yet another PU.  And you really don't want to get too far away from your Home Reality.

December Vacation

It's been a busy and successful year where I work. As with a lot of people in our Tech Services Dept, I face the end of the year with a poopload of vacation days and a need to use 'em or lose 'em. To accomplish this, I am off quite a bit in the near future. In fact, I only work two more days this month. . I haven't had many chances to time- and dimension-travel for a while, so I think I'll go hiking with my buds Xthnrr and Gnmmkq, under the dual suns on the planet Delvinium-25 (see above) and travel back 3,000 years or so for the Winter Solstice celebration at (what you folks call) Stonehenge. . Or go Christmas shopping. Which seems rather mundane, but would keep peace in the family.
