  1. Good Heavens! The writer of the first aired episode of Star Trek certainly deserves my thanks, er, sort of; I’d read a lot of SF/F in my very early teens but Star Trek was on the tv, and we all watched it together.

    And thus was born the tradition of my family addressing me as Spock, notwithstanding the fact that I’m female and not half-Vulcan.

    Happy Birthday!
