no
I'm still here and I check out everyone else's blog fairly often. I just have no creativity and basically don't have anything to say that I don't say in person. It's nice that other people are able to update their blogs frequently; I like that.
We watched the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation over the past two or three weeks. Jenny and I both liked watching it years ago on television before I would have to head off to work at Polar Minerals in Mt. Vermin (as the kids call it.)
It's interesting (to me) to note there were 26, 1 hour long episodes in the first season, and as far as the actors knew, things were on pretty shaky ground and they figured the first season was to be the only season. They ended up doing at least seven seasons, maybe more - I haven't confirmed the correct number.
I have placed a hold on the second season's dvd's at the library, but it could be awhile - it's evidently a popular item.
Little known fact: Michael Dorn, who played Worf, was "Sandman" in The Santa Clause 2. He was also some guy named Jebediah in CHiPs and Apollo Creed's bodyguard in Rocky.
The ladies who played counselor Deanna Troi and Security Chief Natasha Yar actually had auditioned for the reversed roles, but Roddenberry had them flip and the rest is history. Denise Crosby, who played Security Chief Yar (and was also Gage's mom in Pet Sematery by the way) asked to be written out of the show during the first season, so she was killed off by some skin of evil discarded by a race of Titans and left alone on some planet. It was pretty anti-climactic. Crosby indicated in an interview that she felt she'd have to be lobotomized to continue on in the show in her current role. Guess she was bored.
We've started back up with a men's group on Tuesday nights at CFC from 6:30 to 8:30. At present, we are using videos from Nooma.com which are very interesting - then we break into small groups and go over questions from the video. Part of what we are expected to do each week is to keep a journal of prayer requests/answers to prayer, things God is teaching us during our personal bible study time, etc. We'll see how that goes. I enjoy journaling and writing out my prayers to God, but I just don't do it habitually, yet.
