When I was about 7 or 8 years old my family used to have some fun traditions. One of which occurred with regularity on Thursday evenings. 

Mom would make homemade French fries from fresh cut potatoes. And, there were hamburgers with all the fixings, and if we were lucky maybe even some root beer. 

As I remember it - The whole family, Dad, mom, my sisters and brother, would watch Star Trek (The original Series), o a black and white TV, while enjoying dinner from paper plates. Dad was a bit of  Sci-Fi fan, and I suppose his liking for that genera rubbed off on me too. 

Star Trek made real, a future with space travel, powerful handheld electronics, transporters, phasers, communicators, talking computers, and unbelievable space aliens.
