Sunday Thoughts

– We got snow overnight…probably 2-3 inches. It was hard to tell by this morning because it was raining and had already started to melt some. Basically the world was covered with slush. I had to get out the snow blower because it was impossible to move easily with a shovel. Now I’m ready for a nap.

– The book signing is tonight, and I’m still not sure what to wear. I don’t think it’s formal formal, but I have a feeling I should wear a skirt. I don’t want to wear a skirt, but I will. I need to call my sister and find out if we’re going to drive over there together. Junior will stay with grandma and grandpa – he’s very excited about this.

– The article has been delayed, given yesterday’s events. Plenty of time for me on another day. I would have been surprised (and disappointed) if they thought my story was more important than that of the 7 astronauts.

– As I mentioned in a comment below, someone I know posted a message to one of the mailing lists I subscribe to (topfive.com contribs) that he was there when they found the helmet down in Tyler Texas. And he was there when they found body parts and the hearses arrived. I can’t think of anything I’d like less than to find something like that… For some reason it reminded me of when people found JFK Jr.’s luggage on the beach. Or the website that showed some of the items (papers) that had fluttered miles away from Ground Zero. As horrified as I am watching something like this unfold, it’s when they find this kind of stuff that puts a human face on it and horrifies me all the more. I had just assumed there would be nothing left of the seven, that at that height and that speed, well, that’s what I thought. I was wrong.
