I’ve been really enjoying Star Trek Strange New Worlds, but I had a funny moment last night. I’d spent about five hours in relationship conversations with Jed and Kevin (everything is okay, I just had time to do some overdue processing yesterday). Much of it centered around how busy I am and how much I
