his week I start with the less than enviable task of marking the passing of science fiction’s most favored son, Leonard Nimoy, known to a whole generation as Mr. Spock, of Enterprise and Star Trek fame.

To catch my breath, I play the closing music to the anime series “Good Luck Girl”.  I don’t know about you, but I needed something kick ass, just to get running again.

Next, I trundle back to the blog for some other articles of interest.

First off, papers have been filed with arguments against there being a Big Bang.   NASA’s Dawn spacecraft is just a few days out from Ceres.  I found an article where on the surface it seems like such a simple and straight-forward question.  Given that there were no obstacles, would you take a trip into space?

Finally our story for the after-noon is a spooky tale of loneliness and wish fulfillment.
