When I was 7yo I told my folks I wanted to play ball & hit home runs like Joe Carter.
3 yrs later I enrolled & played one (1) godawful season of Alberta Minor Ball.
30 years later, I still have my participation medal.
Turns out we made it to the SkyDome after all.

This is a thought I've had for a long time.
If you showed your child all seven seasons of Star Trek: TNG, they would learn everything they needed to learn about life.
Honour.
Friendship.
Loyalty.
Growth.
Adversity.
Leadership.
Respect.
Love.
Trust.
Tact.
Goodness.
Loss.
Camaraderie.
Boundaries.
Grief.
Victory.
Modesty.
Regret.
Problem solving.
Calmness.
Values.
Self-belief.
And so much more.
It would set them up for life, and they would become wonderful adults and better people for having experienced it all.
There was no greater teacher than Captain Jean-Luc Picard for guiding them through all of this.
This is one of the reasons the death of @SirPatStew has hit me so hard.
He and the other members of the cast, through those characters, taught me all of this and then some.
So sad.

He’ll never know this but Patrick Stewart showed countless boys how to be men. He showed that strength didn't have to mean intimidation, that intelligence should come with humility, and that you could - and should - stand up for what was right even when it cost you something.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.
