It’s not that we’re Trekkies, although I’ve seen most of the original series at least once. It’s that we’re a bit like Kirk and Spock. She’s the emotional one, and I’m the logical one. She makes friends in an instant, and I’m a socially clumsy introvert. She'll speak to anyone.
Her technical skills are zip. She constantly has computer and cable problems that I generally fix with a few key strokes. She’s the ultimate impulse buyer. I often download and read the owner’s manual before buying something, and then I’ll shop for the best price. She gets upset over things that I think are minor, like that the neighbor’s car has blocked the street sweeper. Me, big deal.
She loves reality shows. Big Brother is her favorite. I think they are phony and boring and would rather watch a documentary. She tends to believe anything she reads on the internet, while I am skeptical of everything. I picked my doctor based on qualifications and reviews. She chose hers because she likes him.
So, we’re pretty much opposites. But, we get along fine as long as I remember who’s Captain.
