RIP Lenard Nimoy. I found he was a fascinating person to talk to.

I might have related this story once already. Paul Nimoy, Leonard's nephew, was on my high school's tennis team in 1969, and after the season he invited team members to a barbecue at his house where his uncle would be attending. Having never watched Star Trek, and having only a vague idea of who Leonard Nimoy was, and not really knowing Paul since he was on the JV and I was on the varsity, I did not attend, to my everlasting regret.

Did you talk to him much? What did he have to say?

Spock's role in Star Trek is well known, but what is not so well known is the exercise video he did some years back.
It was titled "Live Long and Perspire."

I talked to him about 15 minutes, and we discussed his new book a bit, and some of the stories of behind scenes on star trek. He had just published Shekhinah.

Sir Terry Pratchett
A funny, wise, inventive and brilliant author, long since a big part of my own world, has just walked off with DEATH. Sir Terry Pratchett, renowned fantasy author, dies aged 66 - BBC News
If you haven't read any of his work, it's worth a go.

Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?
