"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." -Lazarus Long

You have 2 readers, me and Randy!
No, he has three.
Lurkers! I knew it! How many more of you are out there in stealth mode?
Okay, Ted, now you can add me to that illustrious list!!!!
I've always been a big fan; just in case your Mom hasn't told you. ;-)))
Anyway, I was watching a local station in Rockford this a.m. (Yes, lovely Rockford), and they have a cable station for Rockford College. This morning, they had a NASA program running and showed how they lifted up the Discovery to attach the rockets. Of course, Pratt and Whiteny was in big, bold letters on the bottom, and I immediately thought of you. I mentioned to Jim that you had always wanted to be an astronaut and since they have been sending some citizens (such as teachers) into space, I felt that you should apply and try to get onboard one of the flights. I think you would be of enormous help to them! I would love to go up as well, but, of course, I haven't a chance. However, given your intellect, training and skills, you should be able to "hitch a ride."
Take care,
"Mrs. 'R' " a/k/a Karen
