I am not sure I know what to say.  Leonard Nimoy is dead at 83.  It is hard to focus after typing that sentence.  Leonard Nimoy meant a lot to my life.  Which is strange since I have never met him, but Star Trek helped me as a young man to dream, and to think of things beyond myself.  Those are things I hope to carry with me for the rest of my life.  He was more than Mr. Spock of course, but that is how I knew him.

Kirk may have been the driving force of Star Trek, but Spock was the heart.  He was the inquisitive nature looking for new things to discover and to understand.  Star Trek would have been vastly different without him, and not in a good way.  It would have been Kirk punching and sexing stuff, which may have been fun, but Spock made it fascinating, and his memory will Live Long and Prosper in our minds.  You are, and always shall be my hero.

I love you Leonard Nimoy and God Speed.

Well after seven seasons Parks and Recreation has come to an end, and I will miss it.  I am not sure what sitcom is going to fill its void, and it was especially hard since this was only a twelve episode season that they doubled up every night, so it was over in the blink of an eye.  Still it was nice for Parks and Rec to go out on top, and I liked that they went even further in to the future so we could see how these characters we have come to know and love ended up.

I am not going to spoil anything, but the last episode wasn’t great from a comedy standpoint, but it was a very good way to put a bow on everything and send it off to syndication where I am sure it will live a long and happy life.  Seven seasons is pretty good in this day and age, and there wasn’t a bad one in the bunch.  Since the cast is so talented there is no need to wish them luck because I am sure they will land on their feet, and most of them already have.
