My semi-fictionalized adventures aboard the NCC-39R Discovery as myself, my co-pilot, and our fearless science officer (he failed his security exams) travel into parts unknown…
We’re travelling this weekend, so there won’t be another captain’s log entry for Discovery. Fleeing southward from some consistent freezing temps, we’ll be headed to the Florida panhandle in the wake of hurricane Michael. Assuming our reservations remain intact, we’ll… Read More ›
