I guess it would be remiss of me not to take a little time to acknowledge the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. This day, fifty years ago, was when the first episode, "An Unearthly Child", broadcasted in the BBC. If I'm fortunate, I might even be here to see the 100th anniversary in 2063, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
It's surprising to learn how many pop culture ideas came from the 60s and all are celebrating their golden anniversary. James Bond did a few years ago. Fantastic Four will next year. Spider-Man and Ultraman will have theirs in 2016. This is just me skimming the surface, of course.
I suppose I'm a little jealous in that I have no idea or character that will outlive me. No one will look fondly back, fifty years from now, at something that I wrote. So, I just borrow a very old ideology, one of goodwill and self-sacrifice. Hopefully, that will see me through.
