Happy Halloween to all you candy burglars out there. I mean trick or treaters.
Please have fun and be safe.
I’ve watched Patrick Stewart for over thirty years.
I first saw him as Captain Picard. Later as Professor X. Richard the Lionheart. He was a prolific actor, and he usually had a smile on his face when he did interviews.
I loved him as Picard and I loved him as Professor X and I have spent a significant amount of my life enjoying things he has had a piece in.
I will miss him.
This has been a rough week, month, year for people my age. The people we looked up to as children and young adults are dying and we will never see them again.
My heart aches for the toll of this year.

New roof crazy is over. The roof is up and done and I have never seen a construction crew do as good as they did policing the site after it was done. They walked the entire site looking for anything they left behind. Used magnets to pick up nails. Walked in groups to look for things. Put things back where they originally found them. The shingles look excellent. Once they were finally free to do it, they did it in two days. Might have been able to make one, but the storms made it two. I’m glad it is done and I’m glad I got good people who would make it work out in the end.
I have been dealing with the crazy of getting a new roof all this summer. Starting with insurance company. Then bank when insurance wasn’t going to be enough to pay for it. Back to insurance when they wouldn’t give me what they agreed to give me. Back to bank when I found out my mom and another bank were still on the title. Back to title company I used to buy house from mom and pay off bank. Then back to my bank. Back to insurance to talk to a supervisor to get them to do something about money. Finally pay for deposit on credit card just to get ball rolling. Supervisor sends money along. Solar company removes panels. And now, finally, after over four months, it is roofing day. And wouldn’t you know? Raining day too… and I still have not received loan money either…
Walter Koenig is dead. I grew up watching him on Trek. B5 as a young adult. He wasn’t Chekov. He was so much more. A true talent who could play the one note wonders or the complex Greek tragedies. And yet he embraced the Trek with joy. And stayed with Trek until the very end, voicing a ship in Picard Season 3 if my information is accurate. He acted in fan productions and official alike. He was a better actor than most people know, and he went out to meet the fans of one of the least complex characters he ever played. The world is dimmer today. For Koenig. A toast. Vodka, in its original Russian.
