Author's note

Part I: In the beginning. Sins of our fathers

Spock and Spidey

That's how it's done

A castle of our own

The road of happy destiny

The El Greco

Pause when agitated

You'll love my mother

My higher power

Babysitting the babysitter

That special someone

Double vision

Beware the receptionist

Event horizon

It could be cancer

One step forward, two steps back

Being seen

Goodbye forever

Part II: Things change. There are no accidents in recovery

Pause when really agitated

Vlad the Impaler

My Hollywood movie shoot

A page in my book

The Dick Cheney desk set

My cinnamon girl

Everybody should just get along

The mind versus mouth affair

COPD

My friend Justin

Goodbye Clarkson Road

Just do your Spock thing

I think I'll get married

Are you my mother?

Distress sale

Part III: The dad I needed. It's good to see you

There's more to the picture

Waiting for Martha

Looking for Martha

Star Trek X: The frantic search for Spock

Boys from Boston

Half-a-century icon

Honor thy father

A home and a dump

The book of Jonah.
