Heroes

David Bowie's "Heroes" is playing right this minute.  Love this very very much.

Within a few minutes of Discovery's launch, North Korea conducted a test of three missiles.  Two were short-range descendants of the ancient SS-2;  the third was a multi-stage ICBM believed to have range enough to hit the western United States.  All wound up in the Sea of Japan.  The ICBM failed about 50 seconds after launch.

Accomplished not nearly enough today.  Hoped for 1100 words, but got maybe half that.  I can feel the brain spooling back up, though, and it's a good feeling.

Keep flashing back to how beautiful the shuttle launch was.  So good to see it heading up again.

Mom's new sofa arrived today.  I think she wanted me to come to Liberty to pick up the old one, but as I'll be there Saturday for her birthday, that'll have to wait.  This weekend could be another one of entirely too much road time.

Lesson learned tonight from Music Choice:  I need some Kate Bush.

And now, somebody starts launching fireworks.  Glad I'm parked out front.
