New guitar strings, a dozen picks, and a friggin cowboy hat. Conan the complete collection, G.I. Jane, and Purple Rain. Jerry's rum, Coors Light, and Black Swan Cabernet. This is going to be a good week. James Doohan, Scotty from Star Trek died recently. My nerdness increased slightly now that I learned that he was wounded in action during WWII, and took part in the D Day landings. Here is a guy who invited a young lady to meet him at a dozen conventions because she wrote him a letter telling him that she was suicidal. She never did kill herself, the reason? Because he showed her so much kindness when she was down. So we have Mr Doohan, who took part in the greatest conflict of the last 100 years, became a famous actor in TV and movies, and what did he call his greatest accomplishent? Helping that suicidal woman. Rest well Mr Doohan, and warp factor 10 to on up to heaven.
