Writer's Block: Toys In The Attic
[Error: unknown template qotd]
I don't believe I had a favorite toy. I preferred to read books and comics starting when I was 2. Any toy I had is currently up in the attic in the garage. Given the heat up there over the decades, everything has likely melted.
Due to my penchant for removing heads or removing their limbs and switching them around, we stuck with 99 Cent Store doll knock-offs, rather than Barbie dolls, the rare times I wanted something like that.
And on a fannish note for anyone that hasn't heard about it: Each morning, a special song is picked by the families of the astronauts on Space Shuttle Discovery, for them to wake up to. This time, for the final mission, instead of playing a song—William Shatner spoke to the crew as Captain Kirk.
He said this: “These have been the voyages of the space shuttle Discovery. Her 30-year mission: to seek out new science, to build new outposts, to bring nations together in the final frontier, to boldly go and do what no spacecraft has done before.” I love that he did that. And here is the footage of this taking place.
