Debi and I have never been the type to shy away from the label “geek.” We are geeks and we wear that label with pride: we like our science and we like our science fiction. But leave it to Debi to out-geek most other geeks by comparing her son to a Talosian:

![Talosian a Talosian, from Star Trek (Original Series, of course)](https://www.ryananddebi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/talosian.jpg)
(You, too, can claim “hard-core geek status” if you new what a Talosian was without following the link to Wikipedia.)
Do Toren’s veins pulsate a lot too?
Someone gets serious geek credit! His veins don’t pulsate quite like the Talosians’ veins did!
