I visited my sister last weekend for Christmas. I had a fun time, except for the snow that fell Saturday night and knocked out the satellite signal ten minutes before Doctor Who‘s “A Christmas Carol” came on BBC America. Unfortunately, I brought more than Christmas presents home with me. I also brought home a cold.Continue reading “On Sunday Afternoon Family Tree Researches”

No, Spock was not an accidental child; the odds of Vulcans and humans having compatible genetic code is only slightly less than the odds of me and Jim McCain growing moreContinue reading “The Psi Phi Project: Re(8615): Andorians seen in Trek”
