Recently Star Trek celebrated its 60th anniversary. It's a perfect time to "beam in" my friend and co-host , Tina, from my other podcast, "Re-tired New Tread'.

Read excerpt
Marie ties stories about her late wife, Mary, to the incredible work she has done as a founder of the nonprofit Cape Cob LGBTQ, Senior Friends.
