Hiked the loop behind our house this morning, but in the opposite direction from our normal routine. It’s strange, but simply reversing the route was a very different experience. Also explored a nature preserve nestled between the old golf course and some subdivisions.
Enjoyed my son’s honors elementary orchestra concert. Pretty amazing these kids have been playing for less than a year.
Sadly, Facebook and Twitter are still very useful to check on friends after mass shootings. Praying for Michigan State.
Beautiful day on campus today.
Tried out a new trail on our Sunday morning walk.
Excited for the big game today… No, not the Super Bowl. #1 South Carolina vs #3 LSU. Last two unbeaten teams in women’s college basketball meet in Columbia in front of a sold out crowd of 18,000. Game tips at 2:00 on ESPN. 🏀
Hey @futuregeek. What do you think?
My five favorite new Star Trek characters
New Star Trek means new characters
Star Trek is all about the characters and relationships on the ship. With all the new series on Paramount+, they’ve introduced a bunch of interesting characters that I’ve grown to love. With Season 3 of Star Trek: Picard starting next week, I figured I’d share five new characters1 who I’m glad are part of the Star Wars Universe.
WARNING: A HANDFUL OF SPOILERS BELOW FOR DISCOVERY, STRANGE NEW WORLDS, PRODIGY AND LOWER DECKS.
Ensign Sylvia Tilly
Played by Mary Wiseman on Star Trek: Discovery. When Star Trek first relaunched with Discovery, Tilly was such a different type of crew member. For all of the great Star Trek characters over the years, very few were quirky and likable.2 Her relationships with Burnham, Stamets and Saru are wonderful. I wasn’t happy how they used her over the last season — eventually shipping her off to Starfleet Academy...
Just stumbled across a video of the commencement address from when I graduated from the University of South Carolina in 1997, given by lengedary author Pat Conroy. I’ve long said my graduation speaker was the best. Now I have video evidence.
Just saw a picture of me from six years ago today… wearing the exact same shirt that I’m wearing today.
