Greetings genuine readers, thanks for being here. I’ve been away from the blog for a few days but I have not been idle. I’ve been working on a project of interest to us all.
Most of you know that the Mother of the Galaxy is not totally well. Despite her young age (I don’t know exactly how old she is but guesses are around one hundred) her body is frail and weakening. The best doctors from all over the galaxy have been consulted and there is nothing for her. She is not expected to survive the winter. Spring will arrive without the Mother of the Galaxy.
I heard one scientist explain that with all the space miles she travelled in her life, more than any other human, her cells just are breaking down. It all just seems a tragic joke that the person who saved the Galaxy from chaos is dying because of her involvement in saving us all. Sadly, we can’t save her.
I can honestly say that I knew her before she became the Mother of the Galaxy. I knew her when she was just Max Gavaskar. My friend Dorian Thain knew her even better. They were quite close. Dorian was something of a mentor for her. She certainly did not need a mentor when it came to science, but he helped her when she wadded into the deep end of the diplomatic pool.
OK, OK, you all know this stuff. But, what have I been teasing for? What is the big news I’ve been promising? Through Dorian I have arranged a meeting with the Mother of the Galaxy herself. Yes! Dorian and I are going to be allowed to visit her personally. I will publish transcripts of our visit here in the blog.
This meeting is to take place shortly after the Winterfest holidays. The Mother has a long list of people waiting to visit with her. In her weakened state she only has the energy for a few short visits each day. We are very fortunate to have this opportunity. If it weren’t for my connection to Dorian we would not be going.
In the coming weeks I’ll keep you posted on her health and on preparations for our visit with her.
In the mean time . . .
Never Mix red wine and Oodo.
