Whom Gods Destroy
I had a dream last night I shoplifted an old DVD of "Star Trek," so I got up this morning, signed into my telephone job, and watched the second episode (the second pilot, after "The Cage"), which by now featured familiar faces acting in familiar ways, including Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), a now emotionless Mr. Spock (the late, great Leonard Nimoy), Sulu (George Takei), Scotty (James Doohan), etc. However, still no Bones (the late, great DeForest Kelley, who died back in 1999).

Have you ever found yourself entangled in a seemingly never-ending string of unfortunate events, only for that one friend deeply immersed in the world of astrology to enlighten you with the revelation that Mercury is in retrograde? Allow me to elucidate a common misconception: Mercury is not "in" retrograde; it undergoes a retrograde motion.

Planets, in their cosmic ballet around the Sun, move at variable velocities, and the phenomenon of retrograde arises when a swifter celestial body overtakes and momentarily outpaces a slower counterpart.
