Summer reading is here and our
journey through the stars begins with our Classic Movie Day presentation of
Star Trek (2009).
I’m a Trekker or a Trekkie given one’s
approach to the current nomenclature. I have seen the original Star Trek, Star
Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, Voyager and all the
movies in between. Eventually I will get around to Star Trek: Discovery.
I love science fiction. It stimulates
my imagination. I used to daydream and write short stories about space adventures
in high school as I counted down the years, months, days, hours, minutes and
seconds until graduation.
High school was no fun at all.
“Beam me up, Scotty.”
Did you know there are 86,400 seconds
in a day?
I wonder what that is in light years.
In closing I would like to ask my
reading audience an academic question, “If the Earth were to be invaded by an
alien armada of spaceships, who would you rather have defending the Earth?"
Would it be Captain Kirk or the
other captains in the Star Trek Universe?
As for myself I would choose Captain
Kirk. He would fix phasers and photon torpedoes and
defend the Earth without hesitation. He would shoot first and let Mr. Spock ask
questions later.
Join us on June 6, 2019 from 1-3 p.m.
for our presentation of Star Trek (2009).
We will begin our journey and go where no one has gone before, and we will be
bringing popcorn on this voyage through the stars.
“Live long and prosper.”
