We are the T.W.A.

Sunday our group enjoyed a cook out at Ashley's house. We watched the movie The Dalek Invasion of Earth with Peter Cushing as Dr. Who. We also saw a young Bernard Cribbins as a London police officer, we now know him as Wilfred Mott or Donna Noble's grandfather. It was a very entertaining movie even if it didn't have the same structure as the television series. It had a bit of an old James Bond feel to it with it's adventure, but it gave us some insight as to how the Daleks are played today.

The more meetings we have, the more I look forward to the next one. Not just because we watch episodes & stories of my favorite show, but I love the discussions & I have honestly grown to appreciate the fellowship with the people of our group. Partly because they don't look at me like I'm an alien when I make references to all kinds of science fiction/ fantasy books, shows & movies & they let me be free in my own nerdiness. But also as people, they have goodness in them that I don't often see.

In our discussions we finally decided upon a name for us. We have had no label for ourselves & all the names I had come up with were too obscure for the world to know that we are a group of Doctor Who fans. I believe it was Kim who came up with the name of Tennessee Who Authority or T.W.A. for short. Hopefully soon we will have a graphic to go with the name. We all know that the TARDIS is the best way to travel...It is the sports car of time traveling space ships after all.
