This morning while wiping the last of sandman’s dust out of my eyes, I turned on the local news. One of the segments was a live broadcast from the area Children’s Wonderland attraction.

Perhaps the most enduring fixture in the world of Star Trek was Majel Barrett-Roddenberry. She was in every incarnation of the universe. She played the role of Number One in the original pilot entitled “The Cage.” However, the role was scrapped when television censors first viewed the show as the role was too progressive for
I am a self-professed game show freak… AND PROUD of it. Maybe that is why I enjoy the semi-weekly game nights. If I had a bucket list, I would put being on a game show high on that list (not number one but high). I very nearly made it on Who Wants to be a
