Mein Liebe ist Gruen?????  My German is extremely rusty.... "my love is green"?

It was weird to read this story today, because there is a bookstore in Brisbane just like that, exactly like that.... I was only there last Monday, and obviously I am going to have to go back there to collect a few more titles.  Never did have much of a literary education... most was science, maths.....

And then, your story was meandering peacefully along and you hit me with: "I wonder," said Spock after a bit, "what a starship Captain in his full glory would look like."

Ouch.... I bumped my head on the headboard (and now I know why they call it that) laughing.
