It's hard to believe that it's been 25 years since this happened. I was sitting in my 8th Grade History class when we were told the news, and I just couldn't believe it until I saw the news later that afternoon. Several months later we had a visit from a representative of NASA (one of our science teachers tried out for that ill-fated trip, and this was the consolation prize), and I remember asking him about what they determined caused the Challenger disaster. The anniversary of the Columbia tragedy is coming up soon, and I remember being really irritated because they weren't really focusing on the lives that were lost, but the fact that they were down to just THREE SHUTTLES!

Thursday nights just get better and better. Congrats on the upcoming episode, we'll definitely be watching!

Can I say I'm in love with Yeshmin?

Great... as if my dreams weren't disturbed enough...

Not all Midwestern truckstops are dingy. Well most of them are, but not all of them.

The funny thing about this Wil is that they are importing your blog into this Facebook page. So... hopefully those who have liked this page will see it, read it, and then unlike it (if the folks running it are scammers, -then they're not very smart scammers). Also the link they keep posting is to a third party app, and I trust apps just about as far as I can throw my car.

Thank you for sharing this awesomely awesome awesomeness with those of us who were not fortunate enough to attend the festivities. Heres to hoping for 8x10s, 5x7s, postcards, stamps, etc. of The Velvet Wesley, and a plush Unicorn Pegasus Kitten to give to my daughter for Christmas.
