Of course, I realize the moment the words are out of my mouth that I should have used a different, probably less-nerdy reference, given that most of what I know about Star Trek that isn't related to Chris Pine's butt I learned, against my will, from Ravi.

"Are you okay?" I ask, already up off the bench with the futile hope he'll miss the reference.
