the lost christmas missives: garrett
Despite the appalling paucity of your Star Trek knowledge, I must bring up Trek once again to elucidate my following commentary. You see, it is a well-known fact (and fortuitous, for you), that when Commander Riker grew a beard after the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, fans unanimously agreed that the quality of the show improved. Therefore it is possible to determine whether an episode of Next Generation will be good by checking whether or not Riker has a beard. Similarly, I must admit that your beardedness has added to your project managerial nobility. But bearded or not, Mister Garret, I am proud to have you as my commander, and will follow you into battle against client-shaped hordes on any day, or any planet.
