Darn that Groundhog…

If I understand correctly, Punxscatawney Phil saw his shadow again so it’s six more weeks of winter…as long as it’s not six months!   Here’s a chestnut from a few years ago… 😉

Snow Day!

Posted on February 2, 2015 | 3 comments

Well, last week was that big storm in the northeast, but it mostly skirted my area — but today?  Snow Day! We had about 8-10 inches of snow.   It was pretty fluffy outside this morning and now the snow is settling down, but it’s Freezing! Currently 12F but the windchill makes it feel like -10F.  Eeek! Glad I didn’t have work today and that the kids were off!

Celeste Update 2/2/15 – A Good Start!

Posted on February 2, 2015 | 4 comments

Hey Kids,

Here’s this week’s update for Celeste Yanall’s cancer fund.  As of this writing, the fund has received $9,701,  $6,000 of which achieved the  first goal of having enough money to bank some of her tumor for future therapy.   It’s a good start,  but alas, it is only about 1/20th of the full amount needed ($50,00).  Please consider donating any amount you can to help Celeste on this difficult journey– She is so thankful and appreciative of all of her fans who are helping, and for all your prayers and support!   We’re here for you Celeste!

You can read more about Celeste and donate here.

For Celeste

Okay, so it’s not Mr. Spock surfing, but it is Leonard with his son Adam in the early 70’s catching some waves!  Wishing you warm weather — spring will come, really!

Look What I Got! Cool Meets Classic: Autographed Pic of Leonard!

Posted on January 27, 2015 | 10 comments

What do you get when you cross an iconic TV character with A legendary American car? Only the coolest autographed photo ever!

The other week I just couldn’t resist the offer to buy this autographed photo of Leonard from his internet store LLAP.  This is classic Americana!   A grand shot of Nimoy on the Paramount parking lot posing in his Spock gear with his newly acquired 1963 Buick Riviera Gran Sport!  I bet he loved that car.   I remember a friend of our family had one, and we were in awe of how the headlights had magic shutters that opened and closed at your command!  The license plate reads PDL 257 — I think the PDL stands for “Pretty Darn Logical!”

The photo was one of 50 being offered, freshly signed by Nimoy himself with a silver marker. 🙂   I got a little fan-girly when I got it, suddenly realizing that he had held this picture (insert silly squeal).   It’s a nice little memento and a great picture.  The envelope it came in also included a little printed thank you and a bonus baseball card-sized autographed pic of the famous shot from Amok Time of Spock giving the Vulcan salute. Not sure if that autograph was applied by Nimoy or a machine (it appears to be black marker) but what a nice little bonus! Thanks Mr. Nimoy!

My Weekly Spock: 1950’s “Hi-Lites” Questionnaire

Posted on January 26, 2015 | 5 comments

I came across this interesting little tidbit from Mr. Nimoy’s youth… This was Leonard’s responses to a questionnaire by a fan publication from the 1950’s called “Hi-Lites”, which covered ‘up and coming’ actors and actresses’. This one was from 1953-54.  He was happy to respond to Mrs. Hreha’s questions with this gracious note and even supplied a photo!

Early in his career, he’s excited about the avenues opening up to him (Dragnet!) and possibly more so about his interests (“WOMEN!)  (This was not long before his marriage to Sandi)

I don’t do football, but this was too good to pass up, especially with the look in Rand’s face! I made this with Meme Generator on imgflip.  Enjoy!

FArFri: Stopped in Mid-Kiss by alloiin the sky

Posted on January 23, 2015 | 1 comment

For your Fan Art Friday pleasure: Stopped in Mid-Kiss by alloiin the sky   (on DeviantArt, of course).  Me thinks Mirror Spock has less years between Pon Farr…  So that’s how that uniform opens…

The question of course is who has he been kissing and why on earth did they stop?  I bet there’s a ton of people out there who’d slash this up with Kirk, but I’d prefer to think it’s Marlena…
