She might even have lasted more than half a season in that role, who knows? (For those not familar with TNG, she actually ended up in the role of Tasha. The actress who actually played Troi is nowhere to be found on this memo.) Also, Clarence Gilyard Jr. as Geordi? Would they have cast Chuck Norris as Q then?

I would have liked to see Yaphet Kotto as Picard. He later played Lt. Giardello on Homicide, Life on the Street -- also one of my favorite shows ever. Patrick Stewart's Picard was urbane, brainy, and wise. Kotto would have brought that, plus physicality and size: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP30v71qeTU&feature=related. I also notice the "JD Roth" credits, now. My name is far less likely to show up on something I'm not actually doing. BTW -- I saw your book listed in the list of other books in my QuickBooks: the Missing Manual, and I know that *is* you! Interesting!

I wouldn’t have to write about building wealth." That sounds strange to me. I thought you wrote about building wealth because you wanted to - not because you have to. ;) I understood what you were saying there, but maybe it's a subconscious thing. You do still love writing about personal finance, right? I had the same thought as Mike! You do sort of remind me of him.
