“It’s really hard to hate someone for being different when you’re too busy laughing together.”
― George Takei
Live Long and Prosper George Takei!
Oh my!
How time flies
When you are having fun
Keep the phasers on stun
For today we celebrate
No matter if gay or straight
Our king and superhero
Will add a few years to the zero
Hip hip hooray!
Happy 79th birthday
Captain Sulu aka George Takei!

“The shortest distance between two points is a straight line” Archimedes
Straight Lines With a Twist (Daily Photo)
As the road narrows
Taller grow the midday shadows
Following the straight lines
Until an unexpected surprise
In the midst of the hike
A parked vintage bike
A smile on the face will strike

“My age is very inappropriate for my behaviour”
Quote a Week Tuesday
For this week’s quote of the week, I have chosen something we can all relate to: Growing older(?).
The quote is funny, because it is true 🙂
From one of the great actresses of all time; Bette Davis:
“Old age is ain’t no place for sissies”
Bonus quote of the week:
“The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young” Oscar Wilde

“I’m Dr. Rodney McKay, alright? Difficult takes a few seconds; impossible, a few minutes.”
Happy 48th Birthday David Hewlett AKA Dr. Rodney McKay
Horror made worth the Hammer
But really a computer programmer
McKay, the Science Guy
In Pegasus a Puddle Jumper will fly
And always getting the final word
Apparently a real life nerd
When playing at the gaming console
Reaching for the ultimate goal
But before I get all side tracked
Let’s get this thing cracked
We’re almost out of time
Adding some Time Lords just to rhyme
Need for paraphrasing “the other” franchise
Oh’ other fans, little me do not chastise!
So without further ado:
Live long and prosper Mr Hewlett!
(Hey, that last part did not rhyme!
So? I am only a writer on a dime!)

“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!’ ” Robin Williams
Yellow Little Things of Spring (Daily Photo)
Something very weird:
Snow has but disappeared
Warm breeze passes in the air
Without warm clothing able to fare
What is this peculiar feeling
Do I need to fear?
But no problem!
It’s spring time, which is finally here!

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water” Rabindranath Tagore
7 Days of Nature Photo Challenge: Day One: On the Rocks
Against the smoothed rocks
Is the water happily splashing
High in the air go flying my crocks
When I’m barefoot in the sand dashing
Close to the water’s edge
I once again my allegiance pledge
Wowing, this year my toe to dip
Even if it means biting the lip
Come high hell or cold water
Because it may never get hotter
In the ocean I will swim
Even if my eyesight will dim
After all, it is Spring Time!

“Welcome to the dark side”
Dark Side of the Odd (Mundane Monday)
There in the corner it stood
Like something from the tales of the odd
Or maybe, it was just misunderstood

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?”
Albert Einstein
A Seat fit for a Queen
A royal chair look-alike
A regular seat in disguise
A very clever ploy
For this seatly decoy

Good things come in Twos (Daily Photo)
Am I seeing double?
Does it mean I am in trouble?
Houston, this is Hubble,
We seem to be in trouble!
