Hello World!

I feel like I've been in one of those black and white silent comedy films today. I was faced with the challenge of getting a new bed into the house and up the stairs, along the landing and into its new home in the bedroom. This would have been a much simpler task had I not needed to get the old bed out of the way first. The second hardest thing was stopping myself from bursting into laughter whilst holding the bottom half of the bed in trying to get it up the stairs. The temptation just to let go for the comedy value almost proved too much. It's a good job there were no banana skins around.

Trek Two Years Ago

elow are some of the most important headlines from TrekToday on

• Julia Houston reviews 'Memorial'
  about.com's Star Trek guide Julia Houston reviewed Voyager's latest episode. Here;s a snippet:

  The power of our helplessness to prevent the continuation of unspeakable acts despite the lessons history begs to teach us is evident all around us. Look at the people trying to pretend the Holocaust didn't exist, let alone our refusal to acknowledge what goes on in the poorer neighborhoods of our cities. And it's that power that drives "Memorial," though unfortunately the drive isn't nearly as far or as full of twists and turns as it should be.
