I remember his name still... "We in time," she smiled.

Amazing what a bit of speed will do to your chromosomes.
I noticed that, too. At first I thought Eric was trying to be PC by
prefering the feminine form over the masculine (boy, do I ever! Oh, but
that's a different context. See how easily distracted I am). Then why did
he first use the masculine? Is he an Equal Opportunity Pronoun User? I
don't know. Or is he not only anti-Middle Easterner, but a male chauvanist
as well? Was he in fact calling the taxi driver a "girlie man" because he
can't stand men called Khan? For shame. For sure, I never considered what
warp speed might be able to do. So I called up a trekkie and he told me
that sex change was the least of problems that Trekkers had to worry about.
How would you like to become your father, he said, or your great great great
great grandfather? That's what happens when you mess with time. Sounded
great to me, but that's just me. So I guess Ritchie could be right. Sorry
for thinking the best and worst about you, Eric.
