My dad just called. He left a message but I haven't listened to it yet. Its a long story but some of you know it.

Then I went into the lunchroom and watched my first shuttle launch.

I remember my dad's keen interest in astronomy and space travel. He took us to Cape Canaveral when we were in our teens. We spent the day looking at old rockets and watching IMAX movies on the marvels of spaceflight.
