Dear Dayton, The “who would win in a fight” question has been asked many times before. Star Trek versus Star Wars. Hal versus Commander Adama. Lock boxes versus our wallets. In any case, the question is a bit tired. Instead, I present to you the new and improved version, “Who would win in an argument?” That’s right; Star Trek has always been about solving problems with words as well as phasers, lasers, disruptors, bat’leths, or muskets. Don’t ask me about the muskets; I don’t understand it, either. Back on topic, the first pairing I present to you is (drum roll
Ask Dayton 71 – Break’s Over, Yo.
It’s been several weeks since we had an “Ask Dayton,” so I ask simply, what’s new in the World of Ward? Anything new you can share with us? Also, summer is approaching, so do you have any BBQ secrets to share with us grill warriors? Is there anything you do special when grilling, or any (almost) secrets you can share to help make our time forced…um, happily spent with family, more enjoyable?
Ask Dayton 70 – Aussie Trek

Ask Dayton 69 – Let’s talk about Sax
Dear Dayton, This is the 69th edition of Dear Dayton…and we all know what that means. Let’s talk about sax, baby, let’s talk about you and me… Wait, what?! Yes, we’re talking about jazz in Star Trek From Riker and his trombone to the sultry Minuet, and from Harry and his *ahem* clarinet to Vic Fontaine who never, ever leaves the DS9 holosuites. What is your favourite bit of Star Trek Jazz (or any music) goodness…and do we get to watch?

Ask Dayton 68 – Ward, Dayton Ward
Dear Mr. Ward, I’ve been recently watching some movies from the James Bond franchise. Do you like watching those movies? If so, who do you believe to be the best actor to portray the ever-famous role? Beyond that, who would you give the silver and bronze to for their performance? Thank you, and all the best.
Ask Dayton 66 – A Secret to Successful Cohabitation
Dear Dayton, So I live with my girlfriend, and have for about six months now. She’s smart, fun, hilarious, beautiful and makes me reach for heights I have never known with her support and encouragement. But she’s also out of her fucking mind. Here’s the deal, we have a disagreement and did agree to ask your advice to help with a problem. She works normal hours, from 8 am to about 5/5:30 pm. I work from 10 am to about 7/7:30 pm. When she gets home we have dinner, talk and do what late 20s/early 30s couples do *wink wink
Ask Dayton 65 – HOLY SHIT! I’M STILL HERE!
Dear Mr. Ward, By the time G & T’s 84th episode is recorded live, I’ll finally reach twenty-seven years of existence on this world. Birthdays have become less interesting to me as years go by, but they are at least celebrated with a nice dinner or two. In the exciting and thrilling life of Dayton Ward (Novelist Extraordinaire), how are birthdays celebrated? What has been the best or most memorable birthday in your life? And has there been a birthday in your life that you find the worst (and would want to forget about)? Thank you, and all the best.

Dear Lord of the Univer… I mean Dayton, I have to wonder, are you a Gamer? If so, are there any video games that hold a special place in your heart?

Ask Dayton 61 – Vanguard’s Origin Story
Dear Dayton, This is something Christine Thompson asked during her recent interview with the G and T Show: “Vanguard is an excellent series. I like it a lot. When I read the first one, I said this is like Trek, but it’s not. That’s really interesting. I wonder how he got something like that cleared. What made them take a chance to on something that didn’t involve any of the major series but turned out that awesome?” So, what’s up with that?
