The Naro screened "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" this afternoon and I was definitely there! 🖖🏽 Everyone applauded at the end 👏🏻😊 Then, I jumped across the street to Strawberry Fields Gelato and bought one of their mystery bags and a pint of cookies & creme 🍦

Took a staff field trip this past week to Drewry’s Bluff on the James River to see the site of the US Navy’s attempt to reach Richmond with the ironclads Monitor, Galena, and Naugatuck in 1862. Confederate artillery on the bluff at Fort Darling (earthworks still visible) stopped the Union flotilla.

It's #NationalLighthouseDay and I unlocked an achievement! I've climbed all six lighthouses from the Chesapeake Bay to Ocracoke Inlet. That's (clockwise and in chronological order of my climbs over 16 years) Cape Hatteras, Bodie Island, Ocracoke, Currituck Beach, New Cape Henry, Old Cape Henry.

ANDOR was phenomenal! One small prop design thing I really loved was Kleya's radios. The melding of 'galaxy far away' futurism with 'long time ago' (mid-20th century Earth dials and phone junction!) appealed to me. Half expected her to send "Blessent mon coeur d'une langueur monotone" to Ghorman.

Norman Corwin's ON A NOTE OF TRIUMPH aired on CBS this night 80 years ago to mark Victory in Europe. Sixty million (nearly half the population) tuned in, making the program the most listened to radio drama in US history.

The poster I bought for my door arrived. We all have fun 3D-printed office signs based on favorite TV shows or movies. Mine says Commandant, Starfleet Academy so getting an academy recruiting poster for the door was obvious. #LLAP 🖖🏽
