rain and Star Trek
Last night it started to rain as I was walking home from services. I was pretty soggy by the time I got home. (The sky had been clear in the morning, so I didn't take an umbrella.) I decided, given the weather, not to start putting up the sukkah last night like you're supposed to. I went out to the garage to gather all the parts, and carried out the new s'chach (roof covering) from the front porch where it was delivered yesterday (obviously by gentiles :-) ), so maybe that counts as "starting to put it up". Whatever. I guess I have a project for Sunday afternoon, rain or shine.
So last night Dani and I watched the first episode of the new Star Trek series, Enterprise. It looks promising; I'll give it more time. The characters are interesting; the plot had holes you could drive a truck through. So we'll see. I never watched the original series (just an occasional episode here and there), so I don't really know the back-story with the Vulcans. Were they that hostile/patronizing by Kirk's time? Or is this new ground?
(Aside: there was a glitch in the broadcast -- looked like problems with either the cable company or the uplink. Did anyone else have that happen? Not a big deal; we lost maybe a minute of the show and it doesn't appear to have been a critical minute. I'm just wondering if it was my cable company or a broader problem.)
