"Good quotes"

I'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous.

Happy Birthday To You!

August 18th was one of those days I thought I would always remember, and not have to be reminded of.

I guess it's my fault I fail to keep an accurate calander.

Having said that, I wish Jennifer Cole the best of all her birthdays to date!
As they say, you grow smarter as you grow older, and I think that's truly the case with you. You're blessed with a wonderful family, who I hope helps you celebrate on your special day.

Happy Birthday, Jen :)

TWO APART

A long lost love,
lies burried in my heart

Where I long for his affection,
His hand on the small of my back

A whisper in my ear,
To let me know he cares

A lingering kiss,
Then I close my eyes

And it all comes rushing back,
BUTTERFLIES!!!

To feel them again
Brings a smile to my face
and a warmth in my heart

For as long as his beats,
His heart
My heart

We will never be apart

A landing like no other

In the history of manned space flight has there been no greater landing. Unfortunately, this one will take place very early this morning, when the majority of the country will be asleep.
It was two years ago that Columbia disintegrated in our atmosphere, and the country nearly missed the occurrence. Initially, as I watched the live feed on air, I felt confident that the shuttle would miraculously find its way safely to the tarmac. Naively, I would be wrong. Physics would prove my hope wrong.
But, it may happen again tonight. In just two hours, Discovery is scheduled to land in Florida again, as it has done several times before. Although the future of the Shuttle program is now truncated, the hope of the American people is not. We will be uplifted when this Shuttle lands. We will be inspired to reach new goals. What program follows the Shuttle will truly be a marvel of technology and hope. America will stand right behind it.
Even if our own personal goals may not be to grasp a virgin Mars rock, we can empathize with the scientist who’s that is. Although we may not care to travel to other galaxies, we certainly understand the desire.
God Speed to Steve, Jim, Andy, Wendy, Charlie, Eileen, and Soichi.

Thanks, Peter Jennings

You've covered all the stories of my lifetime, including the most miniscule, to the most paralyzing. You were an anchor all of us turned to when things went south, or when they were fortunate enough to go north. For a lot of us, you were the only reason we would watch ABC News. When you made your shocking broadcast exclaiming you had cancer, we knew the time would eventually come. We didn't, perhaps, think it would come so quickly.
Thank you for bearing the blunt of the world news, before we at home were able to digest it. We were crying at home before you could have the chance. We were elated with joy, well before you had the opportunity to celebrate with those you loved.
Rest in peace, Peter. Thanks for the memories.
