Thinking: April 2007 Archives

It's been one of those days. I have nothing to do but reading. As important as the Ku-band system is to the space shuttle and to rendezvous, it's not exactly holding my attention this afternoon.

I have had enough this week. Enough already. I don't want to hear any more stories about crazy gunmen here, there, or anywhere. I don't want to hear about people ending up in the emergency room. I don't want to hear that my email came through in Chinese. If anything goes wrong at the 5K tomorrow, I'm not quite sure I can take it. I don't want any more "final straws" on the already very large haystack.

Sarah is signing out for the weekend. Sayonara.

There's apparently a guy with a gun somewhere onsite at JSC. I'm not even at work right now -- I left to go do 5K packet pickup. So nobody worry.

Really, really interesting article that I came across today: Pearls Before Breakfast.

Take a world-renowned violinist. Have him pick up his multi million dollar Stradivari violin. Have him choose some of the world's greatest music.

Then have him stand in a DC subway station in jeans and a baseball cap, playing that fabulous music on that very expensive violin.

How many people do you think would stop? How much money would they put in his case?
