Star Trek Voyager: Endgame
I’m watching the #StarTrek Voyager series finale ‘Endgame’ tonight. It’s a good episode. I almost shed a tear to see Tuvok in a care home. Janeway was very kind to him when visiting. I imagine the Federation in the 24th century is more enlightened in care than today. It’s a funny premise of an episode.…

Star Trek Voyager: Distant Origin
I’m watching the episode ‘Distant Origin’ from #StarTrek Voyager. It’s an episode based on similar controversy of Galileo Galilei in the 1500’s when he argued the earth revolved around the sun rather than the earth being the center.

My Experiences and this Blog
I don’t get much social contact these days. The service on Sundays at Church, my care coordinator every fortnight and you people on here. I really appreciate my interactions on here (Twitter) – so thank you. I don’t think I would cope with much of a social life anyway. I find people hard work these…

What is the point of me?
