Thanks, Ed. I'll try and remember some astro-related stories. One of these days I should transfer some 8mm footage to video. I have footage of Patrick from 1975, with an orange c-8- and yes, he looks just about exactly the same! Many of the interesting stories, though, concern my preoccupation with the fairer sex, pointed ears, and Bacardi 151 at Star Trek conventions in the '70's and early '80's- and are not suitable for "family entertainment"! ;)

Enough philosophy, I would sooner hear about more of your experiences. I thought your parable was most enjoyable to read. Ed
