“The only subject I know anything about is myself, and I don’t know that too clearly.“ — William Shatner
(Gotta love Shatner! He’s been around quite a long time, and he just turned 92 today! We all know him from the original, and very campy, “Star Trek”. But it kind of seems like he’s never stopped acting. He was the title character in the 1980s “T. J. Hooker”, which I seldom watched. He hosted the show “Rescue 911”. He played the Big Giant Head in “3rd Rock from the Sun”, which I never missed. He played Denny Crane in both “The Practice” and “Boston Legal”. I enjoyed “Boston Legal” more, as it was a good mix of drama AND comedy, whereas “The Practice” was all drama. He’s done a lot of voice-over work, and of course the “Star Trek” film series. He’s appeared at a number of Comic Cons. He’s really done too many things to mention, but I will add that he rode on Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos rocket-ship, becoming the oldest person – to date – to fly into suborbital space, in 2021. I always thought he was a good looking guy, in his younger years. He’s pretty paunchy now, but Heck, he’s 92! I like that he has a good sense of humor, and never took himself too seriously. Happy Birthday, Bill! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

UR,
WoW, William Shatner is 92, 03/22/2023,
,,,,,,,I must have lost a decade or two somewhere along the way,,,seems like he had that rather rough plane ride on the Twilight Zone not too long ago!!!¿
[That was Classic*]
Life goes on and on and,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,bye-bye k
We had our own ROUGH plane . . . on the tarmac . . . for FIVE friggin’ hours, at the outset of our trip, Ken. We missed our original connecting flight, then missed two more! All in all, the delay was about ELEVEN hours. And it wasn’t a fly-by-night airline. It was Delta. And some people wonder why I rail on the airline industry! — YUR
UR,
Sorry to hear your not unfamiliar tale of airplane woes,,,
Fortunately, or not so, my work had me flying all over the planet to meet or leave ships and other Biz$,,,My favorite airline is, without a doubt, Singapore Airlines!!*^,,,It would be good for you and yours just to fly anywhere on their great flights, just for the experience,,,Qatar Airways is a close second,,, Their “cheap seats” outdo most USA carriers “First Class¿?” accommodations!!×,,,A pleasant
surprise I had was Ethiopia Airlines,,,their crew was fantastic☆¥
Side of the Bar: If I had my choice of which country to spend my retirement in, almost there, besides the USA, it would be Singapore***, but family stuff precludes that,,,
WoW, going down memory lane once in a while is great for the soul!!×Thx,,,,,,,
Lattttttter,,,,,,,k
Ken,
If I ever get the opportunity – and the funds – to fly either Singapore Airlines, or Qatar Airways, I will surely take your advice. I know I’ve seen the commercials for Qatar Airways, and they DO look pretty sweet! Could you do me a favor? Could you compare and contrast Singapore with the Philippines? I’ve been to RP, and I’m fairly familiar with its pros and cons, but I’ve never been to Singapore. Feel free to be as explicit as you want . . . I have edit capabilities! — YUR
