Today we’re celebrating the 92nd birthday of the Man himself: Captain Kirk, T.J. Hooker, Rescue 911 Guy, Denny Crane, Priceline Negotiator, and CAPTAIN JAMES TIBERIUS BY GOD KIRK.
:: ahem. ::
We’re talking about a guy who’s been in front of a camera over a span of eight decades. Seriously, go look at his IMDB entry. I get tired just reading it, and that’s not even counting writing, producing, and directing credits. It’s even money you can find him somewhere on your TV right now. He’s working on three or four new projects even as I type this, and he shows no signs of slowing down. The dude even went to space, for crying out loud.
The one and only William Shatner: 92 years old, and still running circles around people half his age. I’ll have what he’s having.
Happy Birthday, sir. May you enjoy many more.
The Fog of Ward. 
… and the guy on the airplane in the Twilight Zone episode written by Richard Matheson. The episode that scared the beejeezus out of me when I was 5 years old and made me a fan of the show, William Shatner, and Richard Matheson for life. The first time I ever flew on a plane I sat down at my window seat, looked out at the airplane wing, and realized that I WAS SITTING IN THE EXACT SAME SEAT !!!! I have since learned that that seat on any plane is known as the William Shatner seat. Happy birthday, my Captain!
