2) General
My Vikings lost. According to news reports, their offense isn’t very good...which means Brad Johnson isn’t very good. Although, supposedly, his receivers dropped some passes that were right in their hands...

Nothing much else to talk about tonight - all football stuff...hopefully this one player, Haynesworth of the Tennessee Titans who stomped a helmetless guy in the head with his cleat, opening up a 30-stitches-needed gash, will be fired....we’ll see.

3) Radio
New episode of Journey Into Space and a new American sci fi drama, Understand:
Treatment for a horrific accident has unexpected benefits in a sci-fi thriller by award-winning U.S. writer, Ted Chiang. Episode 1 of 4.
Has started on Saturday. I’m not interested in American drama - I listen to BBC radio for British stuff, for goodness sake! And, I suspect the guy doing the reading is a Brit putting on an American accent...even worse...

4) Reviews
I’ve already spoken about The Sci Fi Boys today..it’s a must have doc.
