Avoiding Yourself

As the Examiner temporal anomalies series continues to examine its present movie, we come to Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel part 9: overlap, in which the time travelers encounter themselves. What happens and what might have happened are discussed, looking at some of the quirks of such a situation.
Meanwhile, over the weekend I managed to complete a draft of what appears to be an eleven-part series on Source Code. I wish it might have been longer, partly because it means that’s only five and a half weeks before I will have to have the next one ready, and partly because it was a good movie well promoted so I expect to get strong readership for the articles. However, trying to stretch the series without more to say would be bad for readership overall, so unless my editing process causes me to recognize gaps in what I’ve written, it is what it is.
I also completed since Thursday sheet music for the next Collision rehearsal, which our piano player Jonathan is already practicing. I’m trying to add five more songs in about a month, which is going to be a challenge, but if I get three of them working that will be good. I have not yet seen the video culled from the concert (posted at the Silver Lake Community Church website, I’m told, but I’ve got the audio recordings which I review in the car while driving or waiting, and I’m not entirely unhappy with them.
Eric Ashley has contributed only one new piece, but it’s good, interesting in several ways, and worth reading: Practise Bits: Flashes is a space travel story, in which a verser uses her equipment scriff sense to follow a trail through space, and her other abilities to deal with problems on the ship.
