In Australia, we’re only hours away from the dawn of 2016, bringing us one year closer to the 23rd Century.
Just as billions celebrated Christmas around the world a week ago, in a few hours, for the next day or so, billions will be celebrating the birth of a New Year.
One of the annoying things about the festive season is running out of time to get all of the things you need to get done, done. Like wishing one of my all time favourite actors Happy Birthday!
On the 28th of December, the extraordinary First Lady of Star Trek, Nichelle Nichols, turned 83.
I’ve written a great deal about Nichelle on this blog, so I won’t go on about my love for her again, except to say she’s an inspiration – to me, and literally millions of other people.
I hope you had a wonderful birthday, Nichelle, and here’s to many more.
The next time we’ll see Nichelle is in one of the up coming two episodes of Star Trek: Renegades, where she will be reprising her role as Admiral Nyota Uhura.
To learn more about Nichelle, go to her Wikipedia page here, her IMDb page here and her Star Trek database page right here.
To everyone reading my blog, thanks for following along for the last few months, and I wish you all an amazing and wonderful New Year!
