Captains log 042410..... Eight days previous, I arose from bed, looked in the mirror pointedly at each and every hair follicle, and proclaimed with a deep and demanding voice much like that of Zeus, "Let the follicular recharge....BEGIN!" However, during the course of the following week, daily inspections have found my troops oblivious to the importance of our mission. I consistently find that they blatantly continue to ignore my demands. I consider myself a fair and judicious leader, but their persistent unwillingness to follow orders leaves me pondering what to do. "Punishment," you say? Perhaps, yes, this may for a time regain their attention, however the root of the problem would either remain unsolved or sustain further damage. "A pep talk," you suggest? Out of the question. Pep talks are for puppy dogs and little children. No, no. .....If these young soldiers want to be at the helm of the ship, they will be present for duty at the required time and standing at full attention when instructed.... I am at a loss. It appears....the troops of today simply aren't of "the stuff" of troops passed. I will continue to ponder this....this quandry........ Emily out.

    "Scotty! Beam me up again!
    "Scotty! Beam me up again! You forgot my hair!" As I mutter under my breath, "The captain probably got it." (This is why Kirk had a full head of hair and Picard had none. Picard didn't have Scotty.)

    Yours will look better than theirs anyway!

    Haha! Maybe so - Picard was puh-retty slick on top, wasn't he. I always was a big fan of Scotty.

    My hair was dark and curly before chemo, so now I'm thinking darker and curlier?! This gal I work with said, "Girrrrrrrl, you about to be the only crackuh in town with an afro." Cracked me up. Ha!

    Loved It
    When my hair gets an inch long, I think I will stop wearing anything on my head. I have a few greys shining through and my husband asked if I was going to dye my hair and I told him I don't care what color it is when it grows out as long as it is my hair.

    Captain's log 042610......
    Captain's log 042610...... I have been advised by Starfleet officers of potential solutions to the ongoing problem of follicular inactivity. Having conferred with 1st Officer Mr. Spock, as well as Mr. Scott, I have ordered a full evaluation of the engineering deck, as well as dispatched communications to Starfleet Academy requesting their top Academy graduates to be assigned to the Enterprise at the close of the spring academic term. I also attempted a dialogue concerning the non-present follicles with Chief Medical Officer McCoy, however after a brief rant about "that damn pointy eared half breed"...... Dr. McCoy's final conclusion was, "They're dead, Jim." Upon the question, "Bones,.....who's Jim?" His response was, "Dammit Emily, I'm a doctor, not a beautician!" .....Obviously the extended time in deep space is contributing to our medical officer's impatience. I am left with the hope that our new recruits will be of better stock than the last. With the Confederacy's boundaries stretching farther and farther into deep space.....future captains of the Enterprise must be able to retain the loyalty of each and every individual assigned to the helm. Surely, this ....inactivity...must be remedied before assigning Starfleet captains of the Next Generation....
    Emily out.

    okay, I promise I'll stop now. :)
