Out to dinner with friends this past weekend and the conversation turned to TV shows. When True Blood came up, we talked about our favorite characters and the demigoddess from season 2 was mentioned.
The engineer in the group asked, “Do you know what other show that actress was in?”
“Star Trek, the Next Generation” I replied with no hesitation. NONE.
The non-geeks at the table, along with the manager who had just then shown up at the table to ask how our meal was, waited patiently for us to share a “fist-bump of geek triumph” before continuing on.

I didn’t do a walk-around on campus today for Halloween, but I still dressed up for the office. Late in the day I had to go across the street to meet with a couple people and on the way back, a guy in a UAPD truck stopped me and asked, “Blue Lantern?”
I grinned and told him I was. He then asked to see the ring – which of course I was wearing.
“Nice job,” he said and then asked what their thing was.
“Hope,” I told him and he nodded and smiled.
“Cool,” he said and headed out.
