This Geeky Week

A quick look at the current calendar (not so much a blog post as I place for me to record the schedule. You may find this post skip-worthy).

May 1: BASIC turns 50 (coincidentally, so does my ex-wife); also, on a non-geeky note, National Day of Prayer and (for the pagans) Happy Beltane

May 2: Both kids are in honor band in , then son has prom that night (hey, it's MY calendar, but if you need geeky for May 2, then remember it's E.E. "Doc" Smith's birthday).

May 3: Free Comic Book Day (heck, yeah!)

May 4: Star Wars Day

May 5: Anniversary of Alan Shepard being the first American in space (1961); also, the birthday of Lance Hendriksen; also, some kind of Cinco de Mayo celebrations occur, I think...

May 6: The birthdays of Sigmund Freud and Orson Welles (both geeky, in their own ways)

May 7: Anniversary of space shuttle Endeavor's first mission launch (1992); also, the anniversary of the deaths of Robert Kanigher (2002) and Ray Harryhausen (2013)

So... that's the first week of May for me. Hope y'all have a happy week.
