As many of my long-time readers know, I'm a big fan of "Star Trek" and I strongly support the efforts of trekunited.com in their quest to get UPN to either rescind their cancellation of "Star Trek: Enterprise" or to allow it to move to another network to continue producing fresh episodes. Well, since the night I heard that "Star Trek: Enterprise" had been axed, I've been writing letters like crazy, trying to raise awareness of the campaign to save the show. One of the first people I wrote to was the famous physicist, Stephen Hawking... since I know he's a "Star Trek" fan, having appeared on "Star Trek: The Next Generation". I never heard back from him directly, but today it was announced that Mr. Hawking is publicly endorsing trekunited.com. I can only hope that my email helped make him aware of how his wide respect and influence could make a difference in saving the show and continuing the noble legacy that is at the heart of "Star Trek".

Today was the first day that I saw all of the cats eating... seven of them in a row. I hope I can get a pic of them doing that to show ya'll.

"The Oprah Winfrey Show" was excellent today. Three housewives spent the night in a women's prison and learned that behind most crimes is an unfortunate and repentant human being, not just a monster. One of the women said something to the effect that after people put a label on someone, they stopping looking past that label. I totally identify... having been completely dismissed as an artist and a human being after disclosure of my porn history.

Another "Oprah" segment showed how different things were in a men's prison situation. All those masculine ego's mixed with insecurity, vying for respect... harkens back to images of HBO's brilliant series, "Oz". Hot.
