I see that many bloggers are signing off for a little break including Rick, who has pointed out that we can monitor Santa’s path using NORAD Santa Tracker

In the meantime, remember to follow Santa’s movements around the globe from the NORAD tracking station.

The first time any man’s freedom is trodden on, we’re all damaged.

Yep - that’s me! Coolest of all the Star Trek captains, and definitely the best actor of the lot! My only hesitation with this result is the entire first season in which Picard surrendered the ship on almost a weekly basis, but I’ll just blame that on bad writing.

Maybe if I try again, I could end up being Locutus!
