Victor unconsciously echoes the terms of his experience at the age of fifteen when he witnessed lightning shatter the venerable tree at the Frankenstein's summer house near Bellerive: "I never beheld anything so utterly destroyed" (I:1:22). His premonition of the destructive power of the vital force he would employ for creation here realizes itself with ironic power.

Gorn's movements were so graceful, if I didn't know better, I'd have thought Shatner had a dual role.

The Gorn, is both laughable & like an unsettling, recurring dream. I think I had a high fever when I first saw it

Yes. Get well.

In the category of "They don't make them like this anymore"; there is a man I know or am acquainted with who happens to be a pretty famous guy in some circles, and he turns 97 years old on Thursday. I'm thrilled and honored to have had the opportunity to get to know him a little these past few years, mostly through his association with some very close friends. He is a most humble and delightful man and a love monster of the first sort.
 
There was to be a party for him and I and a close friend and collaborator was going to present some musical arrangements and improvisations based on everything from The Cure to standard hymns from the protestant hymnals. Not much rehearsal so I was really looking forward to some magic. Fritz is a music lover of the first sort and I was really excited to play and sing well.
He has apparently come down with a case of bronchitis so it has been called off for now.

Get well soon Mr. Fritz.
