Oh yeah

While in Arkansas, after dad's first meal out at Star of India, Charles and I were fortunate enough to get a glimpse of The Commander. She was in full regalia, including her phaser, which if I recall correctly, had to be handed in each day she served as a juror during the Whitewater trial to security. It seems unnecessary to carry a phaser, though, when her look is clearly set to "stun." (And I don't mean that in the Seven of Nine way, but rather, in the sense that people can't believe what they are seeing and so they just gawp.)

It was a first for Charles and although I've seen her before, one can never get enough of local eccentrics.

Charles and I watched the Star Trek II show during my (fortunately) mini recovery at home. The Commander was featured a number of times and I enjoyed her persona. Charles hadn't realized how short she is.

Your card came yesterday and cheered me us tremendously. With the luck of the draw I had a surgeon who led me to expect the worst and then delivered what he gave as a 5% outcome. Avoiding ab surgery is the BEST! Back to work on Mon. Sandy
