"Do you think we should watch Star Trek tonight?" I questioned Moshe, "We won't get home until close to 9:00..."
We had a wonderful Shabbat at Moshe's parents, but we were slow to leave, and the kids still hadn't eaten supper.
"It's a powerful motivator, for the kids to get ready quickly," Moshe replied.
I couldn't argue with that.
Uncertain about what in our cupboard could be prepared & eaten quickly, I suggested we pick up a pizza on the way home.
Done.
We settled in to watch "Cold Front", which continues a major arc story.
As the episode neared its end, Y protested: "it can't end here, the story isn't over!"
But the episode was, and Moshe quickly ushered the kids to bed.
As he was about to sing them to sleep, Y thanked Moshe for the pizza and Star Trek.
"Pizza and Star Trek," Moshe repeated, "what can be better than that?"
To which, A suggested: "What about coke and air conditioning?"
Please daven (or send happy, healing thoughts) for RivkA bat Teirtzel.
With love and optimism,
RivkA

With all our vices, we seem to have left that one out.
No major chocoholics in this home.
My weakness: ice cream!
:-)
is star trek a vice? i thought it was health food...

I agree.
On Shabbath we are given an extra soul (a neshama yetaira.) When we watch Star Trek we are granted an extra dose of imagination....
