A First Time for Everything, Pg 1

Image
The Daily Grind Table of Contents      And we are moving on! To our 135th storyline, "A First Time for Everything," featuring the return of Ariadne and Chief Henshaw as well as an assortment of other characters. It's almost as if we've got a continuing adventure serial going on here!      As for reviewable reading, Henshaw first showed up in the comic near the beginning of our 27th storyline, " Foreign Correspondence ," while Ariadne appeared a good deal later, near the beginning of our 90th storyline, " Fubar " before going on to become the main antagonist for the whole of Book XVI: Boundless . The two of them then met near the middle of our 98th storyline, " Jurisprudence ," and their relationship devleoped over the next 16 or 17 storylines. We last checked in with them during storyline #123, " Universally Acknowledged ," and now we seem to be checking in again.

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      Of course, we're not quite "over" here since we've got one more, extra-long installment on Friday, but you can't read these comics on a walkie-talkie anyway. So it all balances out, doesn't it?

KUCI's Occasional Fund Drive!

Image
The Radio Station:      Where I host my program every Sunday afternoon from 4 till 6 is a college radio station. And while some of us haven't actually been college students in decades, we're still welcomed with open arms or the equivalent as long as we adhere to the principles that make KUCI the magical sonic landscape that it is.      I won't bore you with all the intricate details, but one of the things that goes on now and then at the station is the Fund Drive. I've been there long enough to have participated in them all, and now, here I am, participating in this one, too!      From now till next Monday, May the 25th, by going to the website , you'll be prompted to make a series of clicking motions. These motions will take the savvy computer user to the UCI E-Giving site where donations may be made to help keep the electrons flowing at the station. None of us programmers get paid in anything tangib...
