The Last Roundup (Star Trek) by Christie Golden I was home visiting family recently, and when I left, I borrowed this book from my brother for the flight home. It’s 280 or so pages, and I read the entire thing waiting for my plane in the terminal, and for about the first 45 minutes of […]

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been one who drinks Slurpees. I, like most others seem to enjoy suffering through a bout of brain freeze. However, when my office moved HQ, there was a 7-11 pretty close, and you would think that’d be great, but since we moved our office HQ, I […]

Forget the legendary carousing, the barroom brawling, the heavy-metal head-banging, and the endless supply of uncensored, often havoc-wreaking quotes. Forget the feuds with dumb-assed fans, wrong-headed managers and the entire […]
