We had a space alien over for dinner the other night. No kidding. My dad visits other galaxies quite often, as part of his day job. He also works nights and weekends as a bookkeeper, but his day job requires intergalactic travel. You probably know people who visit the other planets in our solar system, but how many people do you know who have been to other galaxies? Not many I bet.
So this creature — I think creature is a good word to describe it, or life form? organism? — showed up with my dad around 5:15 on Tuesday. They popped in together in the teleporter down on Amsterdam Blvd. and walked together the few blocks to our place. Well, my dad walked, his travelling companion more like scuttled. I gotta say, this guy was weird. I try to keep an open mind, you know, be non-judgemental, but man! (And guy is almost certainly not the right word.)
