Logic dictates that we should mention any time that
we actually saw Mr. Spock in person. Second Love
insisted that I take her to the Grand Seafair Parade
in Seattle, where Spock rode in an open automobile
as the celebrity guest of honor. (We called our
romance "Star Trek".) She studied him carefully,
until she was satisfied that she could grok Spock.
Years later I heard someone speak her name in the
Starbucks Roastery and Tasting Room on 15.DEC.2014,
but I did not say a word and I realized only later
that I could have truthfully said, "I am here because of you,"
since the Kommissarin had made me start drinking coffee
as a pre-condition to associating with her Swedish family.
