Daily Modern Life, Monday

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

Jon was...out of sorts today. The weekend had been interesting, to say the least.

But he was here, he was determined to get through this, and he was at his stiff and Oxford professorial best as a consequence.

"Welcome to Daily Modern Life," he began once everyone was presumably here. "This is a course designed to acquaint those of you from different times and places with how to do some useful things in this one. The first class is traditionally for introductions, but as we have quite a bit to get through, we'll also be engaging in our first lesson. So if you would all please introduce yourselves with your name and where and when you are from, as well as anything in particular you are interested in learning, we'll get started.

"To begin, I am Jonathan Sims. You may call me Mr. Sims or Jon. I am from Bournemouth, England, by way of London, in more or less the present time."

He nodded to the first person.

"Hello, Eleanor." Jon nodded to her. "Some of what we may go over should be routine for you, then, but some of it will be new, too. We'll definitely cover phones and computers, which have come a long way in the last few decades."
