Padina Lillian took us to Applebees; we all had ribs. Wow, I can't believe how many ribs you get for $10.99. Padina got the small portion and still couldn't eat all hers, and I certainly couldn't, so now Mother has a bunch of barbecue ribs to put away for supper.

After we came home we took the car and went to Borders. Mother had a gift card she gave to me because I'd brought her a bunch of movies when I came up. So I got a big Paint Shop Pro book, an SFX magazine special about Doctor Who, and—ta-da!—a Best of British. I haven't seen the latter in months; only the Borders at Akers Mill had it anymore and there hadn't been one since January.

I don't usually buy SF fannish magazines anymore; I even had a complete collection of Starlog from the beginning and quit getting them years ago because I wasn't reading them. But I couldn't resist the Doctor Who magazine; I fell in love with the series when it was broadcast on WGBH/WGBX in 1974 and have been a fan ever since. I hear the new incarnation with Christopher Eccleston is pretty good (even if he has gone insane and quit after one season!).
