Today is William Shatner's 90th birthday! And since Captain Kirk was given the birthday of the actor who played him, it's also Kirk's birthday. (That's TOS Kirk. Reboot Kirk was evidently born prematurely.)

I quickly cobbled together a little story for the occasion; it's "Happy Birthday, Captain Kirk!"

While Spock has always been my favorite character, I do appreciate the heck out of Kirk, and I have to appreciate the longevity of an actor who's still working at the age of NINETY!

Leonard Nimoy's birthday is four days from now, and my own birthday is halfway in between that of Mr. Shatner and Mr. Nimoy. So, really, I was DESTINED to love Star Trek. :-)

Happy birthday Bill/Jim, Cory, Dorothy, and Leonard!

While Fontana and Nimoy are no longer with us, I'm still glad they were born.

Good to see you posting, was going to send you email seeing how you're doing and wishing you a happy birthday. :-)

Who would you play if you were to play a character in the Star Trek universe?

Loved the little story. My favorite line: "I am the communications officer, after all. What did you think that meant?"

And happy birthday to you! I hope you've been having a lovely day.

If I were to play a character in the Star Trek universe ... hmmm. I'm too old, fat, and out of shape to be a Starfleet officer, so I'd have to be an alien on the planet of the week. Luckily, it's the wrong universe for Jabba the Hut. :-) Or I guess I could play Amanda. While I'm not too fond of Sarek, I'd be happy to lavish some mother love on Spock. :-)

Thanks for reading my little story; I'm glad you enjoyed it!
