Chapters One ~ Two ~ Three

I found a book - or rather, was handed a book - while I was in Wisconsin. It's going to be the basis of the next Page (which is currently with jlrpuck), but there's a part that has been sticking with me. The book is called Einstein's Dreams, and as it's about the nature of time, it's pretty much an obvious choice for a fic about a Time Lord.

Anyway, one of the vignettes is about a world where time has three dimensions - that is, there are three possible outcomes to every decision, and every outcome exists in its own world. (Very much like parallel worlds). Except that every person actually knows what happens with every possibility, until you get an infinity of worlds spiraling into their own directions.

(How anyone in this world exists without headaches, I'll never know.)

Anyway, it's sort of got me thinking. If every decision has three possible outcomes - and let's face it, we all make plenty of decisions every day - what decision have I made where I'd like to know the other two outcomes? ( This is what I'm thinking... )

In other, less contemplative news: Cleo's food rations have been doubled, because while I was gone, and she was whiney, Bill gave her two scoops at dinner instead of one. So she's eating two scoops at breakfast and dinner, and still gobbling them down like food will never appear in her bowl again.

(Pay no attention to the claims of starvation coming from the kitty; she lies like a lying thing that lies.)

It is hot and humid and perfectly disgusting outside. And there is a blueberry pie in the fridge. Mmm, blueberry pie. I should take a picture and regale you all with the blueberriness of my PIE.
