Captain’s Log: Stardate 201811.30. Today we watched Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and learned about what Jeremy Bentham and Nietzsche would say about this outstanding movie. I remember seeing this at age 17 back in ’82 when it was released, with my mom and dad. The ending had me all choked up, and even now it still triggers an emotional response. Let’s just say I could not be a utilitarian like Spock. I also received today this portrait with me as Admiral Kirk and two of my students as Spock and McCoy. Live long and prosper.

Admiral Riker
Captain’s Log: Stardate 201811.14. Greetings, TNG fans. Here I am as an older man without glasses portraying Admiral William Riker from the TNG series finale, “All Good Things”. I never expected Riker to make admiral given that he had turned down several opportunities to command his own ship so he could stay on the Enterprise.
