I caught the live televised final "take-off" of Space Shuttle Discovery, piggybacking on a larger aircraft. It is a fitting year for the Space Shuttle to be retired, and today is a fitting day to begin Star Trek: The Next Generation, as we await the next generation of space exploration from NASA. (They'd better act quickly, though.)
In the episode "Encounter at Farpoint," we have the privilege of encountering the the new Enterprise crew for the first time. We're also treated to lots of fun stuff, such as Q, the holodeck, a couple of space jellyfish, Wes irritating Captain Picard, and a hilarious cameo by Bones McCoy.
In more down-to-earth news, it looks like the business woes of Twinkies are deepening. I made sure to pick up a box of chocolate-filled Twinkies during my shopping trip. Stock up before it's too late!
