Listen to this episode I roleplay being in a therapy session Troi: Welcome back. How’s it going? Me: Everything’s going pretty okay. I can’t complain. Troi: Can’t complain? In my line of work, that’s practically a standing ovation! Me: *smiles* We’ve come a long way and you’ve helped me immensely. Thank you. I don’t wantContinueContinue reading “Counselor Troi’s Office: Session 6”

Listen to this episode One of the biggest fears many have about joining Starfleet is the prospect of their ship ending up adrift, powerless, in the cold vacuum of space. Although I’m not there yet, life has me feeling as though I am not too far from such a scenario. https://videopress.com/v/MvRu9FMU?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&posterUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fvideos.files.wordpress.com%2FMvRu9FMU%2Fwp-1697964290663_mp4_std.original.jpg&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Adrift near the edgeContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 10222023.1”

Listen to this episode As meteoroids (raindrops) gently pelt the outside of my ship, I find myself thinking about the various individuals I have come across during my travels through the quadrant. During my younger days in starfleet academy, I used to believe that I was the only person that felt so alone. Experience hasContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 04212023.6”

Listen to this episode Some days, I find myself daydreaming about resigning my commission as a starfleet officer. I imagine myself traveling throughout the galaxy unencumbered by responsibilities, deadlines or burdens. A part of me is so weary of the internal and external struggle that existence in this physical realm is. And yet… Me atContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 03232023.4”

Listen to this episode As I began to work at my post today, I received a subspace transmission from Dr. McCoy’s office (the vet). I was confused because I wasn’t expecting a hail from sick bay. They confirmed that it was my crewman and then stated, “He’s dead Jim”. Officer Shadow (our black cat) gotContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 02062023.4”

Listen to this episode As our ship completes another orbit around Earth, I find myself looking back on the year that has gone by. At the beginning of the year, I was just settling into my new position aboard Starbase 321 (work) as a counselor. The crew was infected with the galactic plague (covid) andContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 12312022.9”

Listen to this episode During my journey through open space, I have encountered many alien species; some hostile and some friendly. On more than one occasion, I’ve considered bringing some aboard the USS Zamora to join the crew. Yet, only William has made the leap from Federation ally to potential crewman. An absolutely beautiful viewContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 12052022.8”
Off the Record
Listen to this episode It’s been a long time since I’ve last written. There’s so much that has happened that I feel like I’m going to forget to mention something. At the same time I felt like nothing real notable has happened. Still, I miss the writing process and here I am once again atContinueContinue reading “Off the Record”
Off The Record
(A more extemporaneous entry) Listen to this episode The last few days have been wild! On Saturday morning, I decided to go to Tilden Park with my daughter (the boys didn’t want to come) near Berkeley (~100miles away). The park is a massive nature preserve with a lot to do. On the drive, Bella andContinueContinue reading “Off The Record”

Listen to this episode Today, the (work) crew and I were relocated to Starbase 701 (new worksite). As I pulled up in my shuttlecraft (car), I noticed a number of shipless (homeless) encampments just outside the perimeter of the Starbase. Upon further inspection, I noticed a little girl (about 6 years ago) scurrying about theContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog Stardate 07122022.9”
