Atlantis landed. Touching speeches. So sad. The end of an era.

The space shuttle landed today...at a nice and decent hour for us here in SA too...8:30 in the morning! It was dark and you couldn't see much, but really, that just makes the perfect skill with which is was handled even more impressive! And the one astronaut looked like Duncan MacLeod from the Highlander series, minus a pony tail!

Anyone seen the movie "Tenure" with Luke Wilson? He is so good at playing understated, quiet roles. What a pleasant surprise!

For all the build-up and impatient waiting, the shuttle launch had better be epic (in a good way, of course). UPDATE: Ok, I'm happy...it was!

Dear friends of ours birthed a baby boy today...the first of the bu and my's circle of friends to pop out a rug rat. I suspect a case of broodiness might be on the horizon...
