At a party last summer, I met someone who looked very like Patrick Steward, aka, Captain Picard of Star Trek fame.

Sunday, October 4 there was a gathering of 27 people in my backyard, on my back deck and in my kitchen (much to Peter Kashur’s chagrin). A belated birthday BBQ for Bob Segarini with some of his DBAWIS writers, and a sort of “welcome home/back” to friend, Greg Simpson, who really doesn’t get “back east” too often after returning to B.C. almost five years ago to live near his family. This gave him the opportunity to get together with people he doesn’t often get to spend time with.

It’s been said that one should never talk about religion, politics, sex, or money in polite company. I’d like to add another category – Reality TV. And by the way – is there such a thing as ‘polite company’ any more? The mere existence of reality television would seem to beg the question.
After all, we’ve only to watch a few hours of telly to see that the world is a smorgasbord of interests hosted and voiced by the famous, infamous, and wannabe famous. No subject is left unscrutinized; there is truly something for even the most obscure interest, obsession or fantasy.
