I saw a cute tribute to Leonard Nimoy last night.

I went to a performance of Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute".

In one of the scenes taking place in Sarastro's temple, when all the brotherhood was gathered and singing about reason and wisdom and such, all the cast members on stage suddenly lifted their hands in the Vulcan salute!

It was adorable and touching, and the audience loved it!!

I smiled through my tears, and clapped as well.

He was a unique person who taught a few generations how to be logical, but with humanity.
