What a great way to start the week!
Actor-author-director-producer-songwriter-vocal artist-spokesman-entrepreneur-horseman-philanthropist William Shatner tweeted about the blog today!
Quick Backstory
I was Mr. Shatner’s assistant for almost seven years. I arranged his schedule, travel (with some help from Priceline, of course!), meetings and all the other assistant-y duties.
He also taught me a lot about the entertainment industry, the creative process, and life in general.
I also co-produced two documentaries with him: Gonzo Ballet and The Captains. I produced his charity’s annual event, the Hollywood Charity Horse Show (which is a great charity).
We’ve spoken a few times since I left to pursue my own endeavors and ran into each other at a mutual friend’s birthday party a couple of years back.
I wanted to let him know I now write for this blog — but had no idea where he’d be today. (He is the busiest man in the universe, I swear to gosh.)
So I sent him a Tweet.
Hey, @WilliamShatner! Just wanted to say hi to my former boss — and tell you I started a new gig: points and travel blogging for @RenesPoints!
Thanks for everything you taught me, @Priceline #Negotiator.

Within a few minutes, he responded:
Mr. Carley! How are you? Travel blogging sounds interesting. I will go read. My best to you and the family! https://t.co/hekjySC2PX

After exchanging pleasantries about our families (and dogs!), he added:
Thank you. Everyone is great and sends their love. I did find the blogs through the link on @RenesPoints too. https://t.co/Mp9qenAL8A

It’s always nice when a former boss shows support. I’m lucky to know Bill and to have learned so much from him.
Not a bad Monday at all. I hope you had a good one, too.
I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings! 🙂 — Chris

Love it. One of my all time sci-fi heros!
I believe “He is the busiest man in the universe.” I see him everywhere! He never stops! Constantly at warp speed (Is that the right space show?)
