Two hours of electric babysitting for my Mom while she made the Broadway production known as Dinner. When Worlds Collide was a high rotation movie, we could see it once a month.<br /><br />And In sixth grade, I made the discovery that personally owned paperbacks could go beyond Star Trek adaptations. <br /><br />In those days you actually had to get your parents permission on file at the library and at the grocery store to be allowed access to paperback books.<br /><br />My first Paperback book that I actually bought outside Star Trek 8 was When Worlds Collide.<br /><br />My first "The Book Was Better" moment.<br /><br />A couple years later, I'd discover that the Dynamic Duo of Balmer and Wylie had committed the heinous sin, though I didn't know at the time, of a sequel.John Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875185117306503147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-72632758598766702622010-06-22T13:59:14.531-04:002010-06-22T13:59:14.531-04:00OT, but here is a Pioneer Power Show that you and ...OT, but here is a Pioneer Power Show that you and your friends might find interesting:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrYli8GUEUA<br /><br />It is a little bit far away for you, but it is an absolutely fantastic show.
