Long Distance Call

I was watching the NASA Channel last night when the first images from the Mars probe Spirit arrived. Everyone should be so jubilant about their work. When you think about it, their accomplishment is remarkable and a little mind-boggling. This little craft survived an interplanetary trip and a fiery re-entry to safely land on a surface full of jagged rocks and deep craters. I’m looking forward to following the progress of Spirit and its twin, Opportunity, over the next few months.
Another Green Bay Packers victory today. I was chanting “Intercept, intercept!” like a mantra just before Al Harris picked off the ball. Yet another sign that the universe revolves around me.
