 Two of my favorite Star Trek  actors passed away last week.  Walter Koenig played Ensign Pavel Chekov in the original series, and Sir Patrick Stewart was Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek:The Next Generation. Koenig also had a role in Babylon 5, and Stewart was Professor X in the X-Men series. In their honor, today I’ll be posting songs about space and space exploration. And of course And Sir Patrick gets the last word

Ramblings

 Yes, that was me on the dance floor last night, doing the Macarena…and  dancing to “Sweet Caroline” and “Dancing Queen” …  And let’s not forget this one It was a fun wedding,  very untraditional. Apparently I have reached the age where half of my contacts have the same first name: Doctor. I guess it’s better than the alternative. But apparently, the days where I can donate blood may be over. My doctor told me not to do that for the next six months; nothing is seriously wrong but my blood work was not what it should be. The things you do to stay healthy. And staying healthy has become very important to me. I feel better now at 66 than I did at 56. I want to keep feeling good I’m not switching gyms just yet. I want to make sure that the habit sticks before I invest more money. But I have been going twice a week so I think it is going to be part of who I am from now on. The gym  that I have in mind has yoga classes, which would be interesting. I wouldn’t have to s...

Saturday 9

  I've Written a Letter to Daddy Welcome to  Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme! Saturday 9: I've Written a Letter to Daddy (1962) Unfamiliar with this week's featured song? Hear it  here .   Happy Halloween.  We are headed to a Halloween wedding Saturday night.  Bride and groom have asked the guests to come in costume.  Should be fun! 1) This song is from  Whatever Happened to Baby Jane , which was released on Halloween Day, 1962. Do you like scary movies? Wow, I’d forgotten how scary Baby Jane was … yes, I like scary movies.   2) The "Baby Jane" ...

Fitbit Edge

 So I got the Edge. Unboxing And inside the box The white thing is the charger. And, as you can see, it comes with both a large and small wristband.  I need the small.i switched the bands before i even charged the device. I bought a second band as well. It feels so light and slender as compared to ny Sense 2 — the Sense 2 is a “smartwatch” (with very few features) and the Edge is just a tracker. I would not have been able to get a Pixel watch because I have an iPhone, and the Apple Watch didn’t appeal to me. Setup was extremely easy.  I already had the Google Health app and a Fitbit profile (I’ve been a Fitbit user for at least 10 years), so pairing my new device took just a few minutes.   The functions aren’t very different from my Sense 2, but Google has added metrics that weren’t available when I bought the Sense 2 (was it really 4 years ago?) I think I’m going to like this device.
