Captain Kirk (sometimes) thinks he should have been a librarian!

Because I can edit timestamps on my posts, newcomers need never know that it has taken me almost a month to get going on this blog. But sometimes full disclosure is good for the soul. I knew it was going to be a challenge to set aside the time and energy required to do a blog right.

Maybe I just needed a good hook to get me started. I think I may have found my inspiration in this excerpt from an episode* of STAR TREK: The Animated Series (Paramount, 1973):

Mr. Spock observes that the job of a librarian is no less challenging than that of a starship captain, though perhaps a bit less dangerous.

* I was able to track down information on the episode in question. Thanks to Curt Danhauser’s Guide to the Animated Star Trek, I discovered the excerpt above was taken from Episode 18, entitled “Bem,” written by David Gerrold, and originally aired on September 14, 1974.
