Historical note: This shared smile is the moment I fell in love with #StarTrek when I was a kid. This wasn't just an away mission with a leader and crew member - the Enterprise crew genuinely liked each other. Eleven-year-old me wanted to be a part of that. #AllStarTrek #TomorrowIsYesterday

Fabrics for the next #quilt. I went muted rather than my usual Technicolor brights. Gentlemen, would this appeal to you? #quilting #quilters #quiltingfabric #fabric

For you youngsters, "flickers" was a nickname for silent movies. You're welcome.

I'm glad to see small-town Massachusetts is as well-stocked with torches as 19th century Transylvanian villages.

#MeTV wasn't kidding about "a really short Three Stooges short." The plot portion of Saved by the Belle was 3 minutes and 6 seconds. If it had been interrupted with a commercial break, it would have disappeared completely. #MeTVThreeStooges

Have fun tonight, #Svengoolie gang. I'll probably skip Devil Doll (saw it, didn't like it), and I'll definitely skip the Brady movie (never watched The Brady Bunch - clearly I'm amoral and anti-American). With no #MeTVStarTrek, I'll spend the evening writing and watching the snow fall. CU next week!

For those who celebrated, I hope you've had a peaceful and fulfilling) or filling) Thanksgiving where no one left the table disappointed.

(Don't worry, Beau scored many under-the-table treats.)

John Hoyt got second-tier billing for a role done within 15 minutes.

We should all have his agent.

What's your #Svengoolie feast? Another Dracula movie means another garlicky kale and sausage soup. This batch was made with andouille (a little too spicy for me), but it was the only sausage at the store made with low-fat chicken instead of beef or pork. Looking forward to a spicy time tonight!
