Happy Birthday to Dame Maggie Smith!
“I do love comedy,
and when it’s a comedy moment
and you can make people laugh,
of course it is wonderful”

Happy Birthday to Nichelle Nichols

“All the people in Star Trek will always be known as those characters. And what characters to have attached to your name in life! The show is such a phenomenon all over the world” NICHELLE NICHOLS
Happy Birthday to Nichelle Nichols
From science fiction
To science fact
From Lady Actress
To Lady Astronaut
A many of myths
You have broken
A multitude of gifts
And truly outspoken
An eternal beauty
With a sense of duty
A voice like an angel
With an attitude of the devil 😉
Uhura, Nichelle
We’re so very glad
Onto our screens you fell
Without you we’d be sad
This might sound a cliche
Live Long and Prosper!

“The best and most beautiful things in the world,
cannot be seen or even touched

Walking in the footsteps
Of the ancient Greeks
But, watch your steps
On the narrow streets

The view of awe and beauty
You know it really was your duty

Shrouded in mystery

Tuesday Sunset for Daily Photo (two)

“Another cliche moment” Gun Roswell
Tuesday Sunset
…In a few flashing moments
Before we articulated any comments
It was gone
Possibly a drone
Someone said over the phone
Some other suspected
It was something called “The Sun”
Oh what fun!

“Another cliche moment” Gun Roswell
Tuesday Sunset
Close to the end of the year
You won’t believe what you hear
There was an unidentified object
Right there for us mere humans to detect
It came out of nowhere
Did not stay for long here…

RIP Carrie Fisher

‘I thought playing a princess in a goofy little sci-fi film would be fun’
Carrie Fisher
RIP Carrie Fisher
Actress, writer, a super hero
Your delicate frame, reminiscent of a sparrow
In your mind a giant, a role model for tomorrow
You played a princess on the screen
For us, you’ll be, the truest of royalty ever seen
May the Force be With You…Always.
