Woo Hoo...who would have thunk, huh?
So, happy happy to all of the above...just think about your fellow man in the process.
Of course this is the time for the Hero award (a day late actually) but I digress...this award goes to a man who really played the essence of villian in Battlestar Galactica...and Star Trek fans will instantly know him from his history as Kor the Klingon...the rest of us all know him as the original Baltar.
John Colicos was in reality a delightful, witty nice man...I had the pleasure of meeting him, matter of fact I shared a meal with him & a rather large group of folks at a Bennigan's in Fort Washington Pennsylvania of all places (that is a whole other story) but suffice to say that he is missed.
I salute John Colicos tonight as a Hero of Battlestar Galactica!
So Say We All!
