up to this weekend.\u00a0 The new <em>Star Trek<\/em> DVD will most likely be watched (love the Enterprise shaped DVD case).\u00a0 Lore and I will likely battle wits in a thrilling game of Bananagrams.\u00a0 Ed wants to dust off our <em>Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> collectible cards from the mid-90s and give it a go again.\u00a0 And the stuffed R2-D2 is there to represent all the <em>Star Wars<\/em> chatting that will go on with Serv.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In case you&#8217;re wondering, yes that is an original 1977 R2-D2 stuffed animal.\u00a0 What can I
