Star Trek: Timelines
Every ten levels, the Timelines crew members will need four items to “advance” and permit experience to be gained from missions. Each item is related to the character (as Janeway wants coffee, or Picard has a saddle), but the drop … Continue reading
Boston
Living in Boston is like a mini-New York. While New York is the city where you can get whatever you want, whenever you want it, Boston is the city that’s mostly closed on Sundays. Boston’s subways are also a mini-version of … Continue reading
Things Forgotten
I forgot how excited everyone in Massachusetts gets over a mild spring day. All it takes is a tiny bit of sunshine, and everyone is grinning and striking up conversations. Actually, first I forgot how bitterly cold New England is, and how … Continue reading
