Last night (12/13/2025), my boyfriend & I attended the “Jingle Bell Rock” concert at Lark Hall in Albany, NY.
We listened to live music from Keegan James, The Story Boys, and Shannon Tehya & The Troupe! It was a fun evening of music! It was nice to catch up with our friends & meet new friends!

The Human Adventure is Just Beginning. Celebrating Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which premiered in theatres on Dec 7, 1979. The film had flaws, but was a major triumph, for Gene Roddenberry, for the production team, and most of all for the fans, whose determination & persistence made it possible.
