LIFE’S A HOOT

Wow! It’s that time
again already! The past four weeks
literally flew.
I know you’re going to think I’m the biggest nerd of all
time, but I found the original Star Trek series used on Amazon and couldn’t
resist. I was nine the first time I saw
Spock, Kirk, and Bones beginning to weave their interstellar magic and
completely enchanted, never missed an episode after that. I remember swiping my mother’s compact to use
as a ‘communicator,’ and using a little transistor radio for my
tricorder—Voila! My house shimmered into
the Enterprise !
Through the years I followed NASA’s every step—the moon
landing excited me beyond belief, and the space shuttle program blew my
mind—another step closer to making Star Trek a reality. Another step closer to the Enterprise
and space missions to explore the final frontier!
Star Trek gave me hopes that the future held promise—new
ideas, adventures, and chances beyond earthly imagination. I hope my grandchildren will watch the
episodes when they are a little older and enjoy them as much as I did and still
do.
I’d like to think that “The Great Bird of the Galaxy,” Gene
Roddenberry knows how much his characters and stories meant—and still mean—to
me.
Okay, now that I’ve unloaded that nerd nugget on you, let’s
move onto the chills for the month:
In SWOOPING THROUGH THE YEARS Nathan Williams introduces you
to his mother-in-law whose heroic flight from southern Delaware ’s
KKK provides a story of courage and hope in this issue.
Meredith Alden, Owl Maiden, continues with her series of
articles updating us about Max Vale. If
you loved Max in “Holy Terrors” and want to see how things unfold don’t miss
“From the Perch.”
What the hell is going on with Lucy Bernelli? Ya gotta read “On the WindSpirit” to find
out. Even Loren Elliott might be pulling
up Owl’s Eye View to try and figure out the mystery….
Larry Nunn’s article in “Screech On!” is brief but
interesting about a musical send-off….
Melanie Mirth presents a little tidbit about camping in Georgia
in her usual “Macabre Mirth” style.
Wanna do something really cool for your kid’s birthday
party? Wanna be sure to keep up with the Joneses? Check out my story “Balloons” before you
indulge your kid with the latest fad….that’s all I’m sayin’.
Just a little father-daughter bonding in “New Kid” gives
Giselle a really cool show-and-tell when she returns to school in the
fall. Muahaha!
And of course, last but not least, the latest installment of
M*E*D*S to fulfill your ooky thirst.
Don’t choke!
Thank you for reading!
I hope you end up a puddle of anxiety hiding under your bed by the end
of the issue—some advice, beware of those attack dust bunnies! They’re fierce!
Chills!
