Gratitude Monday --Mr. Spock Goes Home

Leonard Nimoy in Vulcan, Ab., April 2010

Leonard Nimoy came home to Vulcan (Alberta) in 2010 and for it I am grateful.

My friend and I went to the event, taking in the Vulcan Tourism and Trek Centre, the parade, and getting to see Mr. Nimoy himself, in person and up fairly close.

We had a blast.

We even drank Romulan Ale, brought in specially for the event.

And along the way we met a new friend with whom I engage regularly on Face Book.

It was a wonderful day. It will live in our memories forever.
Thank you, Leonard Nimoy.

Leonard Nimoy in Vulcan, Alberta, April 2010

Star Trek premiered 45 years ago today, September 8, 1966.
It's my favourite show ever, and it was more real to me then than anything I ever saw on the news.
Full confession, it still is.
Thank you, Mr. Roddenberry.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Nimoy

Gratitude Monday - Live Long and Prosper Edition

On the bridge at the Vulcan Tourism and Trek Station.

My friend Sylvia and I went to Vulcan last week to see Mr. Spock come home.
We had a two-day road trip, we drank Romulan Ale --it's most refreshing--and we took many, many pictures.
I am grateful to have had the chance to see Leonard Nimoy in person, grateful that Sylvia suggested it, grateful for the fun, and most of all, I am grateful for the time I spent with my best friend.
Live Long and Prosper.
