Logan's 1st Birthday Party
We had a great time taking Eva and Ian to Logan's Birthday party at Savageland Pizza.
Star Trek Novel
Introduction
John-Luc Picard, Captain of the U.S.S Enterprise, was relaxing. He was a man who rarely got the opportunity to do so, but he was taking the opportunity now. He was in his quarters, listening to a composition of his own making, and playing his flute along with it. He still wasn't entirely satisfied with the way it was coming out. The feeling just wasn't quite right. He was trying to get the dynamics right in this one phrase, and it just wouldn't be done!
Updated book
I'm planning on updating the book that I've been working on. Since the movie came out in 2009 with Bruce Greenwood playing Captain Pike, I've been given a kick to continue this book. I really enjoy his acting, and thought he did a wonderful Captain Pike, so I think I'll write some more of the book. I'll repost the first 4 chapter of the book edited and updated, then go on from there. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do writing it!
A-Team Movie
Ok. Somehow, I just don't know about this A-Team Movie coming out this summer. Obi-Wan Kenobi as Colonel John Hannibal Smith? Just doesn’t seem right!
Chapter 4
The plan was elegant in it's simplicity. Spock would go to Talos, of course, since he was the one person alive who had been on the planet's surface. Picard would go, as he was the one contacted by the Talosian, and since he was the commander of the Enterprise. They may not be able to take the Enterprise there, but it was thought that the commander of the current USS Enterprise should be there as a tribute to the commander of the former USS Enterprise. Doctor Crusher would also go as they would need a medical officer. Admiral Janeway, true to her word, was going so as "not to miss out on all the fun." Of course, the official reason was that it was her project, and she was in command.
Chapter 3
The shuttle touched down at Starfleet Academy. It had been a long time since Spock had been there, and he wasn't sure what he thought about going there now. One of the problems with being a long lived species meant outliving many of his friends. There were a lot of ghosts at Starfleet Academy that only he would see. Kirk and Pike were only two of them. There were Hikaru Sulu, Pavel Chekov, Nyota Uhura, Kevin Riley. Spock would be reminded of all of them, and much as he tried to hide his emotions, they would visit him while he was here. The simple fact was, he missed them, and the knowledge that he would not see them again was hard to take. Leonard McCoy was still alive, although he was not here. The old doctor had finally retired, although he still made occasional appearances at the Academy. Enterprise's chief engineer was also alive in this time, although Spock had no idea where he was. Last known, Scotty was at Risa. Spock wished that he could see McCoy and Scott. He would love to talk to them about the current task he found himself embroiled in. But with all his heart, he wished Jim were here to offer his suggestions.
Chapter 2
It was hot. Kathryn Janeway, recently returned from the Delta Quadrant of the Galaxy, and recently promoted to Admiral, was hot. She was wearing her fleet uniform, but over that was a hooded robe, to keep the hot wind from driving her completely crazy. She was on Vulcan, home of her former chief of security, Tuvok. However, she wasn't here to see him. Her business was at the Vulcan Science Academy. She walked into the building, and was grateful for the immediate drop in temperature that she felt when she entered. The building had no air conditioning, but was cooled naturally. It was still warm, but was cool enough to allow her to remove the robe and fold it over her arm as she went to the young Vulcan woman sitting at the receptionist's desk. As she approached, the woman looked up, and stood.
Chapter 1
Captain Picard sat at the head of the crescent shaped table. Seated around it were some of his closest friends in the world. Commander Riker, who had been his trusted first officer throughout his captaincy on board the Enterprise D, and was now filling the same spot with consumate skill on this new Enterprise. Worf, back from his stay on Deep Space 9 under Captain Sisko. Dr. Crusher, who had been more than just a doctor on the Enterprise for many years. Geordie LaForge, who was arguably the best engineer in Starfleet. Commander Data, who had proved his skill, and humanity, throughout his serving on the Enterprise time and time again. And Deanna Troi. She had been invaluable in her time on the Enterprise as well. She had guided him in many difficult decisions, and he had learned to trust her empathic skills implicitly.

Star Trek Book
I'm considering putting up a fan fiction book that I've been writing, and am wondering what the reception of such an endeavor would be.
