Diane Duane's novel, "Spock's World", is one of my all-time favorites.

I highly recommend this novel to anyone, and everyone.

You may recall that in June of 2011 I got a couple of mice that I named T'Vet (Of Doubt) and T'Mol-kom (Of Serenity). T'Mol-kom is getting rather old these days, and has a couple of health problems.

The anthem would have been created only for Vulcan, without any thought...Read Full Story

They are the most beautiful trading cards I have ever seen, and they will never leave their protective slips. Leonard Nimoy's card has a publicity photo from "The Sun Also Rises" on the front: And some interesting information on the back, including his birthday, the location of  his...Read Full Story
