Jeff Williams

-
This afternoon, the astronaut, Jeff Williams stopped by my office to meet me. I was really honored that he took the time out of his busy schedule to pop in and say "Hi!" (This introduction was the work of our mutual friend, Nick Stengel.)
Just a few months ago, he was living on the space station. I think maybe, now that I know Jeff Williams, we should organize a missions trip to the moon!
A wedding party was taking pictures when Jeff came in -- so they asked him if he would be willing to pose with them. Now, he'll grace somebody's coffee table.

    Just send me all your bank account numbers, and then I'll give you the details. :)

    Seriously -- Wayne, in the post about viewing the space station, I linked to a page of U.S. states. Sorry about leaving you out. You can get a schedule for Australia too.

    I'll post it!

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
