#67. Re-read Hitchhiker's Guide

Just finished reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. That's the first book in the trilogy of five. Four books to go.

Coincidentally The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy also comes out this Friday, so one might call that good timing... or highly improbable.

Also, as for #83 (Grow a Riker-esque beard) is also going nicely... though it's taking it sweet time to fill out. Ah well, it's been a long time since I've had a full beard.
