Well, there've been several over the course of my life, but one of the most touching things happened very recently. My mom's friend Anne works at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (you'd know it as the "Cetacean Institute in Sausalito")--where Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was filmed--which is about twenty minutes away from where I live. For my birthday, she was able to get her hands on what I consider to be the coolest collector's item of all time: a candid photo of Shatner and Nimoy between takes. (We had Bill sign it at the Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas last month.) It's only one of two in existence. Anyway, it's no secret that I'm a Trekkie--"out of the closet," so to speak--and when Anne came across the picture, she said she knew she had to give it to me. You have no idea how that made me feel. Incredibly special.
What's the most adventurous thing you've ever done?
The King beneath the mountains,
The King of carven stone,
The lord of silver fountains
Shall come into his own!
His crown shall be upholden,
His harp shall be restrung,
His halls shall echo golden
To songs of yore re-sung.
The streams shall run in gladness,
The lakes shall shine and burn,
All sorrow fail and sadness
At the Mountain-king's return!one two three four five
